We establish a link between stability estimates for a hyperbolic inverse problem via the Boundary Control method and the blowup of a constant appearing in the contexts of optimal unique continuation and cost of approximate controllability.
We consider spherically symmetric supercritical focusing wave equations outside a ball. Using mixed analytical and numerical methods, we show that the threshold for blowup is given by a codimension-one stable manifold of the unique static…
