Abstract
We consider inverse problems of determining coefficients or time independent factors of source terms in radiative transport equations by means of Carleman estimate. We establish global Lipschitz stability results with an additional condition which requires some strict positivity for initial value or given factor of source, but we need not any extra conditions on domains of velocities, which is the main achievement of this article compared with the existing work by Machida and Yamamoto ({\it Inverse Problems} {\bf 30} 035010, 2014). The proof relies on a Carleman estimate with a piecewise linear weight function according to the partition of the velocity domain.
