Lipschitz stability in an inverse problem for the wave equation

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We are interested in the inverse problem of the determination of the potential p(x),x∈Ω⊂Rnp(x), x\inΩ\subset\mathbb{R}^n from the measurement of the normal derivative ∂νu\partial_νu on a suitable part Γ0Γ_0 of the boundary of ΩΩ, where uu is the solution of the wave equation ∂ttu(x,t)−Δu(x,t)+p(x)u(x,t)=0\partial_{tt}u(x,t)-Δu(x,t)+p(x)u(x,t)=0 set in Ω×(0,T)Ω\times(0,T) and given Dirichlet boundary data. More precisely, we will prove local uniqueness and stability for this inverse problem and the main tool will be a global Carleman estimate, result also interesting by itself.
