A global Carleman estimate in a transmission wave equation and application to a one-measurement inverse problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a transmission wave equation in two embedded domains in R, where the speed is a1 > 0 in the inner domain and a2 > 0 in the outer domain. We prove a global Carleman inequality for this problem under the hypothesis that the inner domain is strictly convex and a1 > a2. As a consequence of this inequality, uniqueness and Lipschitz stability are obtained for the inverse problem of retrieving a stationary potential for the wave equation with Dirichlet data and discontinuous principal coefficient from a single time-dependent Neumann boundary measurement.

Global Carleman estimate on a network for the wave equation and application to an inverse problem
We are interested in an inverse problem for the wave equation with potential on a starshaped network. We prove the Lipschitz stability of the inverse problem consisting in the determination of the potential on each string of the network with Neumann boundary measurements at all but one external vertices. Our main tool, proved in this article, is a global Carleman estimate for the network.
متن کاملApplication of different inverse methods for combination of vS and vGPR data to estimate porosity and water saturation
Inverse problem is one of the most important problems in geophysics as model parameters can be estimated from the measured data directly using inverse techniques. In this paper, applying different inverse methods on integration of S-wave and GPR velocities are investigated for estimation of porosity and water saturation. A combination of linear and nonlinear inverse problems are solved. Linear ...
متن کاملInverse Conductivity Problem for a Parabolic Equation using a Carleman Estimate with One Observation
For the heat equation in a bounded domain we give a stability result for a smooth diffusion coefficient. The key ingredients are a global Carleman-type estimate, a Poincaré-type estimate and an energy estimate with a single observation acting on a part of the boundary.
متن کاملGlobal Carleman estimates for waves and applications
Abstract In this article, we extensively develop Carleman estimates for the wave equation and give some applications. We focus on the case of an observation of the flux on a part of the boundary satisfying the Gamma conditions of Lions. We will then consider two applications. The first one deals with the exact controllability problem for the wave equation with potential. Following the duality m...

Abstract. This article develops the numerical and theoretical study of the reconstruction 5 algorithm of a potential in a wave equation from boundary measurements, using a cost functional built 6 on weighted energy terms coming from a Carleman estimate. More precisely, this inverse problem 7 for the wave equation consists in the determination of an unknown time-independent potential from 8 a si...
