In this paper we study the local behavior of a solution to second orderelliptic operators with sharp singular coefficients in lower order terms. Oneof the main results is the bound on the vanishing order of the solution, whichis a quantitative estimate of the strong unique continuation property. Ourproof relies on Carleman estimates with carefully chosen phases. A key strategyin the proof is to derive doubling inequalities via three-sphere inequalities.Our method can also be applied to certain elliptic systems with similarsingular coefficients.
