Inverse coefficient problem for a quasilinear hyperbolic equation with final overdetermination

The inverse problem of recovering a solution-dependent coefficient multiplying the lowest derivative in a hyperbolic equation is investigated. As overdetermination is required in the inverse problem, an additional condition is imposed on the solution to the equation with a fixed value of the timelike variable. Global uniqueness and local existence theorems are proved for the solution to the inverse problem. An iterative method is proposed for solving the inverse problem.     

A method for finding coefficients of a quasilinear hyperbolic equation

The inverse problem of finding the coefficients q(s) and p(s) in the equation u _tt = a ² u _xx + q(u)u _t ? p(u)u _x is investigated. As overdetermination required in the inverse setting, two additional conditions are set: a boundary condition and a condition with a fixed value of the timelike variable. An iteration method for solving the inverse problem is proposed based on an equivalent system of integral equations of the second kind. A uniqueness theorem and an existence theorem in a small domain are proved for the inverse problem to substantiate the convergence of the algorithm.

Problem of determining the nonstationary potential in a hyperbolic-type equation

We solve the problem of determining the hyperbolic equation coefficient depending on two variables.

A Stability Estimate for a Solution to the Problem of Determination of Two Coefficients of a Hyperbolic Equation

We consider the problem of determination of two coefficients (x) and q(x) in a hyperbolic equation. Here (x) is the coefficient of the first derivative with respect to t and q(x) is the coefficient of the solution itself. We suppose that these coefficients are small in some norm and supported in a disk D. Oscillations are excited by the impulse function (t)(x·) supported on the straight line t=0, x·=0. Here is a unit vector playing the role of a parameter of the problem. The acoustic field generated by this source lying outside D is measured at the points of the boundary of D together with the normal derivative on some time interval of a fixed length T for two different values of the parameter . We prove that, for a sufficiently large T, the given information determines the sought coefficients uniquely. We obtain a stability estimate for a solution to the problem.

A Stability Estimate for a Solution to a Two-Dimensional Inverse Problem of Electrodynamics

We consider the problem of finding the three coefficients c(x), (x), and q(x) in a hyperbolic equation. Here c(x) is the coefficient at the Laplace operator, (x) is the coefficient of the first time derivative, and q(x) is the coefficient of the lower-order term. The problem results from the inverse electrodynamic problem of finding the electrodynamic parameters of an isotropic medium under the assumption that the properties of the medium and the exterior current are independent of one coordinate. We suppose that the coefficients c(x)-1, (x), and q(x) are small in some norm and their supports are contained in some disk B. This is equivalent to the assumption that the electrodynamic parameters of the medium are close to constants. We suppose that the source initiating oscillations has the form of the impulse function (t)(x·) localized on the set t=0, x·=0. Here is a unit vector playing the role of a parameter of the problem. The electromagnetic field excited by this source applied outside B is measured at points of the boundary of the domain B on some time interval of a fixed length T counted from the moment of arrival of the signal from the source for three different values of the parameter . It is proven that, for a sufficiently large T, these data determine the sought coefficients uniquely. We obtain a conditional stability estimate for a solution to the problem.

Convergence and Data Dependency of Normal−S Iterative Method for Discontinuous Operators on Banach Space

We study convergence, rate of convergence and data dependency of normal?S iterative method for a fixed point of a discontinuous operator T on a Banach space. We also prove some Collage type theorems for T. The main aim here is to show that there is a close relationship between the concepts of data dependency of fixed points and the collage theorems and show that the latter provides better estimate. Numerical examples in support of the results obtained are also given.
