    Stability of the unique continuation for the wave operator via Tataru inequality and applications

    In this paper we study the stability of the unique continuation in the case of the wave equation with variable coefficients independent of time. We prove a logarithmic estimate in a arbitrary domain of Rn+1{\mathbb R}^{n+1}, where all the parameters are calculated explicitly in terms of the C1C^1-norm of the coefficients and on the other geometric properties of the problem. We use the Carleman-type estimate proved by Tataru in 1995 and an iteration for locals stability. We apply the result to the case of a wave equation with data on a cylinder an we get a stable estimate for any positive time, also after the first conjugate point for the geodesics of the metric related to the variable coefficients.Comment: The version v1 of this preprint is an extended version that contains more details than the "journal version", that is, the version v2, of the pape

    Spectral theory and inverse problem on asymptotically hyperbolic orbifolds

    Get PDF
    We consider an inverse problem associated with nn-dimensional asymptotically hyperbolic orbifolds (n≥2)(n \geq 2) having a finite number of cusps and regular ends. By observing solutions of the Helmholtz equation at the cusp, we introduce a generalized SS-matrix, and then show that it determines the manifolds with its Riemannian metric and the orbifold structure
