An Inverse Hyperbolic Problem with Application to Joint Photoacoustic Parameter Determination

Analysis of PDEs 2024-08-26 v1

Abstract

We consider an inverse problem of recovering a parameter appearing in all levels in a second-order hyperbolic equation from a single boundary measurement. The model is motivated from applications in photoacoustic tomography when one seeks to recover both the wave speed and the initial ultrasound pressure from a single ultrasound signal. In particular, our result shows that the ratio of the initial ultrasound pressure and the wave speed squared uniquely determines both of them respectively.
