Directional Moments in the Acoustic Inverse Problem

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and its Applications ((IMA,volume 90))

Abstract

The paper deals with some inverse boundary problems for a second-order elliptic operator and its nonstationary counterparts. The main problem discussed in the paper is the inverse boundary spectral problem for the acoustic operator A ρ

$$\left\{ \begin{array}{l}{A_\rho }u:{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} = {\mkern 1mu} - {\rho ^{ - 1}}\Delta u,{\mkern 1mu} \,x \in {\mkern 1mu} M\\u{|_s}\, = \,0\end{array} \right.$$
