Lipschitz Stability of Travel Time Data

We prove that the reconstruction of a certain type of length spaces from their travel time data on a closed subset is Lipschitz stable. The travel time data is the set of distance functions from the entire space, measured on the chosen closed subset. The case of a Riemannian manifold with boundary with the boundary as the measurement set appears is a classical geometric inverse problem arising from Gel'fand's inverse boundary spectral problem. Examples of spaces satisfying our assumptions include some non-simple Riemannian manifolds, Euclidean domains with non-trivial topology, and metric trees.
