The Dynamical Inverse Problem for a Lamé Type System (The BC Method)

Resumo

In the paper, for a Lamé type system the inverse problem of recovering the fast and slow wave velocities from the boundary dynamical data (the response operator) is solved. The velocities are determined in a near-boundary domain, the depth of determination being proportional to the observation time. The BC-method, which is an approach to inverse problems based on their connections with boundary control theory, is used.
