Iterative reconstruction of the wavespeed for the wave equation with bounded frequency boundary data

Analysis of PDEs 2017-05-12 v1

Abstract

We study the inverse boundary value problem for the wave equation using the single-layer potential operator as the data. We assume that the data have frequency content in a bounded interval. We prove how to choose classes of nonsmooth coefficient functions so that optimization formulations of inverse wave problems satisfy the prerequisites for application of steepest descent and Newton-type iterative methods.
