This paper is devoted to a study of observability estimate for the wave equation with variable coefficients $(h^{jk}(x))_{n\times n}$ ($n\in\mathbb{N})$. We consider both the observation point lies outside the domain and the observation…

In this paper we construct a global, continuous flow of solutions to the Camassa-Holm equation on the entire space $H^1$. Our solutions are conservative, in the sense that the total energy $\int (u^2+u_x^2) dx$ remains a.e. constant in…
This is a survey, which is a continuation of the previous survey of the author about applications of Carleman estimates to Inverse Problems, J. Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems, 21, 477-560, 2013. It is shown here that Tikhonov functionals…

There are several hybrid inverse problems for equations of the form $\nabla \cdot D \nabla u - \sigma u = 0$ in which we want to obtain the coefficients $D$ and $\sigma$ on a domain $\Omega$ when the solutions $u$ are known. One approach is…

We consider the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equation \begin{equation*}\left\{\begin{aligned} &\partial_t \Omega+U \cdot \nabla \Omega+\Omega\cdot \nabla U=0 \\ &\Omega(x,0)=\Omega_0(x) \end{aligned}\right. \end{equation*} in the…
We consider the wave equation on a closed Riemannian manifold. We observe the restriction of the solutions to a measurable subset $\omega$ along a time interval $[0, T]$ with $T>0$. It is well known that, if $\omega$ is open and if the pair…
We consider the inverse problem for time-dependent semilinear transport equations. We show that time-independent coefficients of both the linear (absorption or scattering coefficients) and nonlinear terms can be uniquely determined, in a…

We investigate the transport equation: $u_t+b \cdot \nabla u=0$. Our result improves the criteria on uniqueness of weak solutions, replacing the classical condition: $\div b \in L_\infty$ by $\div b \in BMO$.
In this article, for the radiative transport equation, we study inverse problems of determining a time independent scattering coefficient or total attenuation by boundary data on the complementary sub-boundary after making one time input of…
