A new approach to hyperbolic inverse problems II (Global step)

Abstract

We study the inverse problem for the second order self-adjoint hyperbolic equation with the boundary data given on a part of the boundary. This paper is the continuation of the author's paper [E]. In [E] we presented the crucial local step of the proof. In this paper we prove the global step. Our method is a modification of the BC-method with some new ideas. In particular, the way of the determination of the metric is new.
