Localization of moving sources: uniqueness, stability, and Bayesian inference

Analysis of PDEs 2022-04-12 v1

Abstract

We consider the subsonic moving point source problem for the scalar wave equation in R3\pmb{R}^3, proving a regularity result for the direct problem, and uniqueness and stability results for the inverse problem. We then present and investigate numerically a Bayesian framework for the inference of the source trajectory and intensity from wave field measurements. The framework employs Gaussian process priors, the pre-conditioned Crank-Nicholson scheme with Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, and conditioning on functionals to include prior information on the source trajectory.
