Abstract

We are interested in the inverse problem of the determination of the potential p(x),xΩRnp(x), x\in\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n from the measurement of the normal derivative νu\partial_\nu u on a suitable part Γ0\Gamma_0 of the boundary of Ω\Omega, where uu is the solution of the wave equation ttu(x,t)Δu(x,t)+p(x)u(x,t)=0\partial_{tt}u(x,t)-\Delta u(x,t)+p(x)u(x,t)=0 set in Ω×(0,T)\Omega\times(0,T) and given Dirichlet boundary data. More precisely, we will prove local uniqueness and stability for this inverse problem and the main tool will be a global Carleman estimate, result also interesting by itself.
