Abstract

A Coefficient Inverse Problem for the radiative transport equation is considered. The globally convergent numerical method, the so-called convexification, is developed. For the first time, the viscosity solution is considered for a boundary value problem for the resulting system of two coupled partial differential equations. A Lipschitz stability estimate is proved for this boundary value problem using a Carleman estimate for the Laplace operator. Next, the global convergence analysis is provided via that Carleman estimate. Results of numerical experiments demonstrate a high computational efficiency of this approach.
