    Lipschitz stability of an inverse boundary value problem for a Schr\"{o}dinger type equation

    In this paper we study the inverse boundary value problem of determining the potential in the Schr\"{o}dinger equation from the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, which is commonly accepted as an ill-posed problem in the sense that, under general settings, the optimal stability estimate is of logarithmic type. In this work, a Lipschitz type stability is established assuming a priori that the potential is piecewise constant with a bounded known number of unknown values

    Uniqueness for the electrostatic inverse boundary value problem with piecewise constant anisotropic conductivities

    Full text link
    We discuss the inverse problem of determining the, possibly anisotropic, conductivity of a body Ω⊂Rn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n} when the so-called Neumann-to-Dirichlet map is locally given on a non empty curved portion Σ\Sigma of the boundary ∂Ω\partial\Omega. We prove that anisotropic conductivities that are \textit{a-priori} known to be piecewise constant matrices on a given partition of Ω\Omega with curved interfaces can be uniquely determined in the interior from the knowledge of the local Neumann-to-Dirichlet map

    We consider the inverse boundary value problem for the system of equations describing elastic waves in isotropic media on a bounded domain in R3\mathbb{R}^3 via a finite-time Laplace transform. The data is the dynamical Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. More precisely, using the full symbol of the transformed Dirichlet-to-Neumann map viewed as a semiclassical pseudodifferential operator, we give an explicit reconstruction of both Lam\'{e} parameters and the density, as well as their derivatives, at the boundary. We also show how this boundary reconstruction leads to a decomposition of incoming and outgoing waves

    Uniqueness for a seismic inverse source problem modeling a subsonic rupture

    Get PDF
    We consider an inverse problem for an inhomogeneous wave equation with discrete-in-time sources, modeling a seismic rupture. We assume that the sources occur along a path with subsonic velocity, and that data are collected over time on some detection surface. We explore the question of uniqueness for these problems, show how to recover the times and locations of sources microlocally, and then reconstruct the smooth part of the source assuming that it is the same at each source location
