Identification of the coefficients in the linear Boltzmann equation by a finite number of boundary measurements

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we consider an inverse problem for the time dependent linear Boltzmann equation. It concerns the identification of the coefficients via a finite number of measurements on the boundary. We prove that the total extinction coefficient and the collision kernel can be uniquely determined by at most k measurements on the boundary, provided that these coefficients belong to a finite k-dimensional vector space.
