Inverse Problems of Wave Processes

This volume in the "Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems Series studies dynamical inverse problems, i.e. such problems whose data are the values of wave fields. The monograph deals with the problem of determination of one or more coefficients of a hyperbolic equation or a system of hyperbolic equations. The desired coefficients are functions of point. Most attention is given to the case where the required functions depend only on one coordinate. The first chapter of the book deals mainly with methods of solution of one-dimensional inverse problems. The second chapter focuses on scalar inverse problems of wave propagation in a layered medium. In the final chapter inverse problems for elasticity equations in stratified media and acoustic equations for moving media are given.This monograph will be of value and interest to researchers in the fields of mathematical physics, geophysics, acoustics, elasticity theory, and electrodynamics.Blagoveshchenskii, A. S. is the author of 'Inverse Problems of Wave Processes' with ISBN 9789067643443 and ISBN 9067643440.
