Abstract:
The inverse problem of reconstruction of coefficients $A$ and $B$
for equation
$$
AU_{tt} =\operatorname{div}(B\operatorname{grad}U)
$$
in the half-plane $z>0$ is considered. It is assumed that instantaneous point source at $z=0$ generate wave field $U(t,z,x)$ that is known on the boundary.
It is also known that coefficients $A$ and $B$ can be represented in the form
\begin{gather*}
A=A(z,\varepsilon x)=A_0(z)+\varepsilon xA_1(z)+O(\varepsilon^2),\\
B=B(z,\varepsilon x)=B_0(z)+\varepsilon xB_1(z)+O(\varepsilon^2).
\end{gather*}
Here $\varepsilon$ is a small parameter.
The algorithm for the determination of coefficients $A_0,B_0,A_1,B_1$ with accuracy $O(\varepsilon ^2)$ is constructed. Bibl. – 5 titles.
