Recovery of piecewise smooth density and Lamé parameters from high-frequency exterior Cauchy data

We consider an isotropic elastic medium occupying a bounded domain D whose density and Lamé parameters are piecewise smooth. In the elastic wave initial value inverse problem, we are given the solution operator for the elastic wave equation, but only outside the domain D and only for initial data supported outside D, and we study the recovery of the density and Lamé parameters. For known density, results have recently been obtained using the scattering control method to recover wave speeds. Here, we extend this result to include the recovery of the density in addition to the Lamé parameters under certain geometric conditions using techniques from microlocal analysis and a connection to local tensor tomography.
