Abstract:
We deal with the Cauchy problem for a perturbed wave equation in the half-plane with data given on a part of the space-time boundary. The equation in consideration describes a wave process in a laterally inhomogeneous medium. We propose a reconstruction algorithm, which is applicable to the problem of determining nonstationary wave field from boundary data arising in geophysics.
Key words and phrases:wave equation, Cauchy problem, wave field recovery, laterally inhomogeneous medium.
