Abstract

We consider the Helmholtz equation with real analytic coefficients on a bounded domain ΩRd\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}. We take d+1d+1 prescribed boundary conditions fif^{i} and frequencies ω\omega in a fixed interval [a,b][a,b]. We consider a constraint on the solutions uωiu_{\omega}^{i} of the form ζ(uω1,,uωd+1,uω1,,uωd+1)0\zeta(u_{\omega}^{1},\ldots,u_{\omega}^{d+1},\nabla u_{\omega}^{1},\ldots,\nabla u_{\omega}^{d+1})\neq0, where ζ\zeta is analytic, which is satisfied in Ω\Omega when ω=0\omega=0. We show that for any ΩΩ\Omega^{\prime}\Subset\Omega and almost any d+1d+1 frequencies ωk\omega_{k} in [a,b][a,b], there exist d+1d+1 subdomains Ωk\Omega_{k} such that ΩkΩk\Omega^{\prime}\subset\cup_{k}\Omega_{k} and ζ(uωk1,,uωkd+1,uωk1,,uωkd+1)0\zeta(u_{\omega_{k}}^{1},\ldots,u_{\omega_{k}}^{d+1},\nabla u_{\omega_{k}}^{1},\ldots,\nabla u_{\omega_{k}}^{d+1})\neq0 in Ωk\Omega_{k}. This question comes from hybrid imaging inverse problems. The method used is not specific to the Helmholtz model and can be applied to other frequency dependent problems.
