Increasing stability in acoustic and elastic inverse source problems

Abstract

We study increasing stability in the inverse source problems for the Helmholtz equation and the classical Lame system from (minimal) boundary data at multiple wave numbers. By using the Fourier transform with respect to wave numbers, explicit bounds for analytic continuation of the data to larger wave numbers, the Hyugens' principle, and sharp bounds in the corresponding dynamical initial boundary value problems, increasing (with growing wave numbers interval) stability estimates for source terms are obtained.
