Abstract:
We consider the Cauchy problem for the wave equation in $\Omega\times\mathbb R$ with data given on some part of the boundary $\partial\Omega\times\mathbb R$. We provide a reconstruction algorithm for this problem based on analytic expressions. Our result is applicable to the problem of determining nonstationary wave field arising in geophysics, photoacoustic tomography, tsunami wave source recovery.
Key words and phrases:wave equation, Cauchy problem, wave field recovery, photoacoustic tomography.
