Abstract:
We consider the problem of reconstruction of Cauchy data for the wave equation in $\mathbb R^1$ by the measurements of its solution on the boundary of the finite interval. This is a one-dimensional model for the multidimensional problem of photoacoustics, which was studied in [2]. We adapt and simplify the method for one-dimensional situation and provide the results on numerical testing to see the rate of convergence and stability of the procedure. We also give some hints on how the procedure of reconstruction can be simplified in 2d and 3d cases.
