We consider the inverse problem of determining the Winkler subgrade reaction coefficient of a slab foundation modelled as a thin elastic plate clamped at the boundary. The plate is loaded by a concentrated force and its transversal deflection is measured at the interior points. We prove a global Hölder stability estimate under (mild) regularity assumptions on the unknown coefficient.
We consider inverse problems for the first and half order time fractional equation. We establish the stability estimates of Lipschitz type in inverse source and inverse coefficient problems by means of the Carleman estimates.
We study some hybrid inverse problems associated to BVP's for Schrödinger and Helmholtz type equations. The inverse problems we consider consist in the determination of coefficients from the knowledge of internal energies. We establish local Lipschitz stability inequalities as well as conditional Hölder stability inequalities.
In this work, we shall study the nonlinear inverse problems of recovering the Robin coefficients in elliptic and parabolic systems of second order, and establish their local Lipschitz stabilities. Some local Lipschitz stability was derived for an elliptic inverse Robin problem. We shall first restructure the arguments in \cite{chou04} for the local Lipschitz stability so that the stability follows from three basic conditions for the elliptic inverse Robin problem. The new arguments are then generalized to help establish a novel local Lipschitz stability for parabolic inverse Robin problems.
We prove new global Hölder-logarithmic stability estimates for the near-field inverse scattering problem in dimension $d\geq 3$. Our estimates are given in uniform norm for coefficient difference and related stability efficiently increases with increasing energy and/or coefficient regularity. In addition, a global logarithmic stability estimate for this inverse problem in dimension $d=2$ is also given.
In this article, we consider inverse problems of determining a source term and a coefficient of a first-order partial differential equation and prove conditional stability estimates with minimum boundary observation data and relaxed condition on the principal part.
This paper concerns inverse problems for strongly coupled Schrödinger equations. The purpose of this inverse problem is to retrieve a stationary potential in the strongly coupled Schrödinger equations from either boundary or internal measurements. Two stability results are derived from a new Carleman estimate for the strongly coupled Schrödinger equations.
In this article, we provide a modified argument for proving conditional stability for inverse problems of determining spatially varying functions in evolution equations by Carleman estimates. Our method needs not any cut-off procedures and can simplify the existing proofs. We establish the conditional stability for inverse source problems for a hyperbolic equation and a parabolic equation, and our method is widely applicable to various evolution equations.
We show that the inverse problem of Calderon for conductivities in a two-dimensional Lipschitz domain is stable in a class of conductivities that are Dini continuous. This extends previous stability results when the conductivities are known to be Holder continuous.
In the inverse stationary transport problem through anisotropic attenuating, scattering, and refractive media, the albedo operator stably determines the gauge equivalent class of the attenuation and scattering coefficients.
Consider the one-dimensional stochastic Helmholtz equation where the source is assumed to be driven by the white noise. This paper concerns the stability analysis of the inverse random source problem which is to reconstruct the statistical properties of the source such as the mean and variance. Our results show that increasing stability can be obtained for the inverse problem by using suitable boundary data with multi-frequencies.
This paper concerns the stability on the inverse source scattering problem for the one-dimensional Helmholtz equation in a two-layered medium. We show that the increasing stability can be achieved by using multi-frequency wave field at the two end points of the interval which contains the compact support of the source function.
Here we are investigating the one dimensional inverse source problem for Helmholtz equation where the source function is compactly supported in our domain. We show that increasing stability possible using multi-frequency wave at the two end points. Our main result is a stability estimate consists of two parts: the data discrepancy and the high frequency tail.
We prove logarithmic stability in the parabolic inverse problem of determining the space-varying factor in the source, by a single partial boundary measurement of the solution to the heat equation in an infinite closed waveguide, with homogeneous initial and Dirichlet data.
In this article, we study the stability in the inverse problem of determining the time-dependent convection term and density coefficient appearing in the convection-diffusion equation, from partial boundary measurements. For dimension $n\geq 2$, we show the convection term (modulo the gauge term) admits log-log stability, whereas log-log-log stability estimate is obtained for the density coefficient.
In this work we study the inverse boundary value problem of determining the refractive index in the acoustic equation. It is known that this inverse problem is ill-posed. Nonetheless, we show that the ill-posedness decreases when we increase the frequency and the stability estimate changes from logarithmic type for low frequencies to a Lipschitz estimate for large frequencies.
In this article, high frequency stability estimates for the determination of the potential in the Schrödinger equation are studied when the boundary measurements are made on slightly more than half the boundary. The estimates reflect the increasing stability property with growing frequency.
We show logarithmic stability for the point source inverse backscattering problem under the assumption of angularly controlled potentials. Radial symmetry implies Hölder stability. Importantly, we also show that the point source equation is well-posed and also that the associated characteristic initial value problem, or Goursat problem, is well-posed. These latter results are difficult to find in the literature in the form required by the stability proof.
We establish a logarithmic stability inequality for the inverse problem of determining the non linear term, appearing in a semilinear BVP, from the corresponding Dirichlet-to-Neumann map (abbreviated to DtN map in the rest of this text). Our result can be seen as a stability inequality for an earlier uniqueness result by Isakov and Sylvester [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 47 (1994), 1403-1410].
In this paper we prove stability estimates of logarithmic type for an inverse problem consisting in the determination of unknown portions of the boundary of a domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, from a knowledge, in a finite time observation, of overdetermined boundary data for initial boundary value problem for anisotropic wave equation.
Consider the scattering of the two- or three-dimensional Helmholtz equation where the source of the electric current density is assumed to be compactly supported in a ball. This paper concerns the stability analysis of the inverse source scattering problem which is to reconstruct the source function. Our results show that increasing stability can be obtained for the inverse problem by using only the Dirichlet boundary data with multi-frequencies.
We consider the stability issue of the inverse conductivity problem for a conformal class of anisotropic conductivities in terms of the local Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. We extend here the stability result obtained by Alessandrini and Vessella in Advances in Applied Mathematics 35:207-241, where the authors considered the piecewise constant isotropic case.
We prove a global Hölder stability estimate for a hybrid inverse problem combining microwave imaging and ultrasound. The principal features of this result are that we assume to have access to measurements associated to a single, arbitrary and possibly sign changing solution of a Schrödinger equation, and that zero is allowed to be an eigenvalue of the equation.
We give new global stability estimates for monochromatic inverse acoustic scattering. These estimates essentially improve estimates of [P. Hahner, T. Hohage, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 33(3), 2001, 670-685] and can be considered as a solution of an open problem formulated in the aforementioned work.
This paper is concerned with an inverse source problem for the three-dimensional Helmholtz equation by a single boundary measurement at a fixed frequency. We show the Lipschitz stability under the assumption that the source function is piecewise constant on a domain which is made of a union of disjoint convex polyhedral subdomains..
We consider inverse boundary value problems for the Schrodinger equations in two dimensions. Within less regular classes of potentials, we establish a conditional stability estimate of logarithmic order. Moreover we prove the uniqueness within $L^p$-class of potentials with $p > 2$.
We consider the inverse problem of determining the Lamé parameters and the density of a three-dimensional elastic body from the local time-harmonic Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. We prove uniqueness and Lipschitz stability of this inverse problem when the Lamé parameters and the density are assumed to be piecewise constant on a given domain partition.
In this paper we consider the inverse scattering problem for the Schr{ö}dinger operator with short-range electric potential. We prove in dimension n $\geq$ 2 that the knowledge of the scattering operator determines the electric potential and we establish H{ö}lder-type stability in determining the short range electric potential.
We derive conditional stability estimates for inverse scattering problems related to time harmonic magnetic Schrödinger equation. We prove logarithmic type estimates for retrieving the magnetic (up to a gradient) and electric potentials from near field or far field maps. Our approach combines techniques from similar results obtained in the literature for inhomogeneous inverse scattering problems based on the use of geometrical optics solutions.
For linearized Navier-Stokes equations, we consider an inverse source problem of determining a spatially varying divergence-free factor. We prove the global Lipschitz stability by interior data over a time interval and velocity field at $t_0>0$ over the spatial domain. The key are Carleman estimates for the Navier-Stokes equations and the operator rot.
In this paper, we study an inverse problem for linear parabolic system with variable diffusion coefficients subject to dynamic boundary conditions. We prove a global Lipschitz stability for the inverse problem involving a simultaneous recovery of two source terms from a single measurement and interior observations, based on a recent Carleman estimate for such problems.
We study the stability issue in the inverse problem of determining the magnetic field and the time-dependent electric potential appearing in the Schrödinger equation, from boundary observations. We prove in dimension 3 or greater, that the knowledge of the Dicrichlet-to-Neumann map stably determines the magnetic field and the electric potential.
We study increasing stability in the inverse source problems for the Helmholtz equation and the classical Lame system from (minimal) boundary data at multiple wave numbers. By using the Fourier transform with respect to wave numbers, explicit bounds for analytic continuation of the data to larger wave numbers, the Hyugens' principle, and sharp bounds in the corresponding dynamical initial boundary value problems, increasing (with growing wave numbers interval) stability estimates for source terms are obtained.
We consider a fractional radiative transport equation, where the time derivative is of half order in the Caputo sense. By establishing Carleman estimates, we prove the global Lipschitz stability in determining the coefficients of the one-dimensional time-fractional radiative transport equation of half-order.
In this paper, we develop a general approach to prove stability for the non linear second step of hybrid inverse problems. We work with general functionals of the form $σ|\nabla u|^p$, $0 < p \leq 1$, where $u$ is the solution of the elliptic partial differential equation $\nabla\cdot σ\nabla u =0$ on a bounded domain $Ω$ with boundary conditions $u|_{\partial Ω} = f$. We prove stability of the linearization and Hölder conditional stability for the non-linear problem of recovering $σ$ from the internal measurement.
Using uniform global Carleman estimates for discrete elliptic and semi-discrete hyperbolic equations, we study Lipschitz and logarithmic stability for the inverse problem of recovering a potential in a semi-discrete wave equation, discretized by finite differences in a 2-d uniform mesh, from boundary or internal measurements. The discrete stability results, when compared with their continuous counterparts, include new terms depending on the discretization parameter h. From these stability results, we design a numerical method to compute convergent approximations of the continuous potential.
In this paper, we study an inverse coefficients problem for two coupled Schrödinger equations with an observation of one component of the solution. The observation is done in a nonempty open subset of the domain where the equations hold. A logarithmic type stability result is obtained. The main method is based on the Carleman estimate for coupled Schrödinger equations and coupled heatn equations, and the Fourier-Bros-Iagolnitzer transform.
This paper deals with an inverse source problem for the $1$D time-fractional diffusion equation by using boundary measurement. The conditional stability in identification of the unknown source term is proved on the basis of the Fourier transform and several properties of the Mittag-Leffler functions.
This paper is devoted to the inverse problem of determining the spatially dependent source in a time fractional diffusion-wave equation, with the aid of extra measurement data at subboundary. Uniqueness result is obtained by using the analyticity and the new established unique continuation principle provided that the coefficients are all temporally independent. We also derive a Lipschitz stability of our inverse source problem under a suitable topology whose norm is given via the adjoint system of the fractional diffusion-wave equation.
We study the inverse boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation using the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map at selected frequencies as the data. A conditional Lipschitz stability estimate for the inverse problem holds in the case of wavespeeds that are a linear combination of piecewise constant functions (following a domain partition) and gives a framework in which the scheme converges. The stability constant grows exponentially as the number of subdomains in the domain partition increases. We establish an order optimal upper bound for the stability constant. We eventually realize computational …
We consider an inverse scattering problem and its near-field approximation at high frequencies. We first prove, for both problems, Lipschitz stability results for determining the low-frequency component of the potential. Then we show that, in the case of a radial potential supported sufficiently near the boundary, infinite resolution can be achieved from measurements of the near-field operator in the monotone case.
In this paper we study the inverse boundary value problem of determining the potential in the Schrödinger 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.
We are interested in an inverse medium problem with internal data. This problem is originated from multi-waves imaging. We aim in the present work to study the well-posedness of the inversion in terms of the boundary conditions. We precisely show that we have actually a stability estimate of Hölder type. For sake of simplicity, we limited our study to the class of Helmholtz equations $Δ$+V with bounded potential V.
In this paper, we study the stability of two inverse boundary value problems in an infinite slab with partial data. These problems have been studied by Li and Uhlmann for the case of the Schrodinger equation and by Krupchyk, Lassas and Uhlmann for the case of the magnetic Schrodinger equation. Here we quantify the method of uniqueness proposed by Li and Uhlmann and prove a log-log stability estimate for the inverse problems associated to the Schrodinger equation. The boundary measurements considered in these problems are modelled by partial knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map: in the fir…
We consider the first and half order time fractional equation with the zero initial condition. We investigate an inverse source problem of determining the time-independent source factor by the data at an arbitrarily fixed time and we establish the conditional stability estimate of Hölder type in our inverse problem. Our method is based on the Bukhgeim-Klibanov method by means of the Carleman estimate. We also derive the Carleman estimate for the first and half order time fractional diffusion equation.
In this work we study the phenomenon of increasing stability in the inverse boundary value problem for the Schrödinger equation. This problem was previously considered by Isakov in which he discussed the phenomenon in different ranges of the wave number (or energy). The main contribution of this work is to provide a unified and easier approach to the same problem based on the complex geometrical optics solutions.
We consider the problem of determining an unaccessible part of the boundary of a conductor by mean of thermal measurements. We study a problem of corrosion where a Robin type condition is prescribed on the damaged part and we prove logarithmic stability estimate.
We consider an inverse problem of reconstructing two spatially varying coefficients in an acoustic equation of hyperbolic type using interior data of solutions with suitable choices of initial condition. Using a Carleman estimate, we prove Lipschitz stability estimates which ensures unique reconstruction of both coefficients. Our theoretical results are justified by numerical studies on the reconstruction of two unknown coefficients using noisy backscattered data.
We are interested in the inverse problem of recovering a Robin coefficient defined on some non accessible part of the boundary from available data on another part of the boundary in the nonstationary Stokes system. We prove a Lipschitz stability estimate under the \textit{a priori} assumption that the Robin coefficient lives in some compact and convex subset of a finite dimensional vectorial subspace of the set of continuous functions. To do so, we use a theorem proved by L. Bourgeois which establishes Lipschitz stability estimates for a class of inverse problems in an abstract framework.
