Abstract

The paper is concerned with an inverse point source problem for the Helmholtz equation. It consists of recovering the locations and amplitudes of a finite number of radiative point sources inside a given inhomogeneous medium from the knowledge of a single boundary measurement. The main result of the paper is a new H\"{o}lder type stability estimate for the inversion under the assumption that the point sources are well separated. The proof of the stability is based on a combination of Carleman estimates and a technique for proving uniqueness of the Cauchy problem.
