The observation is given by the Dirichlet to Neumann map associated to a wave equation. We prove a H\\\"older stability estimate in the determination of $q$ from the Dirichlet to Neumann map. Moreover, provided that the gap between two electric potentials rich its maximum in a fixed bounded subset of $\\bar{\\Omega}$, we extend this result to the same inverse problem with measurements on a bounded subset of the lateral boundary $(0,T)\\times\\partial\\Omega$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-21T17:15:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35R30", "35L20" ], "keywords": [ "wave equation", "infinite wave guide", "determination", "coefficient", "neumann map" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.4888K" } } }
