This article deals with the multidimensional Borg-Levinson theorem for perturbed bi-harmonic operator. More precisely, in a bounded smooth domain of $\R^n$, with $n \geq 2$, we prove the stability of the first and zero order coefficients of the bi-harmonic operator from some asymptotic behavior of the boundary spectral data of the corresponding bi-harmonic operator i.e., the Dirichlet eigenvalues and the Neumann trace on the boundary of the associated eigenfunctions.

In this paper, we consider the inverse boundary value problem for the polyharmonic operator. We prove that the second order perturbations are uniquely determined by the corresponding Dirichlet to Neumann map. More precisely, we show in dimension $n \geq 3$, a logarithmic type stability estimate for the inverse problem under consideration.

We derive conditional stability estimates for inverse scattering problems related to time harmonic magnetic Schr\"odinger equation. We prove logarithmic type estimates for retrieving the magnetic (up to a gradient) and electric potentials from near field or far field maps. Our approach combines techniques from similar results obtained in the literature for inhomogeneous inverse scattering problems based on the use of geometrical optics solutions.

We prove that the real-valued electric potential $q \in L^{\max(2,3 n / 5)}(\Omega)$ of the Dirichlet Laplacian $-\Delta +q$ acting in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n \ge 3$, is uniquely determined by the asymptotics of the eigenpairs formed by the eigenvalues and the boundary observation of the normal derivative of the eigenfunctions.

In this paper we consider the inverse problem of determining on a compact Riemannian manifold the metric tensor in the wave equation with Dirichlet data from measured Neumann boundary observations. This information is enclosed in the dynamical Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to the wave equation. We prove in dimension $n\geq 2$ that the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the wave equation uniquely determines the metric tensor and we establish logarithm-type stability.

We discuss the Cauchy problem for anisotropic wave equations. Precisely, we address the question to know which kind of Cauchy data on the lateral boundary are necessary to guarantee the uniqueness of continuation of solutions of an anisotropic wave equation. In the case where the uniqueness holds, the natural problem that arise naturally in this context is to estimate the solutions, in some appropriate space, in terms of norms of the Cauchy data. We aim in this paper to convert, via a reduced Fourrier-Bros-Iagolnitzer transform, the known stability results on the Cauchy problem for elliptic equations to stability results on the Cauchy problem for waves equations. By proceeding in that way the main difficulty is to control the residual terms, induced by the reduced Fourrier-Bros-Iagolnitzer transform, by the Cauchy data. Also, the uniqueness of continuation from Cauchy data is obtained as byproduct of stability results., Comment: This submission has been withdrawn by arXiv admins because it is a duplicate of arXiv:1902.05878

In this paper, we study the stability in the inverse problem of determining the time dependent absorption coefficient appearing in the linear Boltzmann equation, from boundary observations. We prove in dimension $n\geq 2$, that the absorption coefficient can be uniquely determined in a precise subset of the domain, from the albedo operator. We derive a logarithm type stability estimate in the determination of the absorption coefficient from the albedo operator, in a subset of our domain assuming that it is known outside this subset. Moreover, we prove that we can extend this result to the determination of the coefficient in a larger region, and then in the whole domain provided that we have much more data. We prove also an identification result for the scattering coefficient appearing in the linear Boltzmann equation.

This paper deals with an inverse problem for a non-self-adjoint Schr\"odinger equation on a compact Riemannian manifold. Our goal is to stably determine a real vector field from the dynamical Dirichlet-to Neumann map. We establish in dimension n greater than 2, an H\"older type stability estimate for the inverse problem under study. The proof is mainly based on the reduction to an equivalent problem for an electro-magnetic Schr\"odinger equation and the use of a Carleman estimate designed for elliptic operators.

In the present paper, we consider a non self adjoint hyperbolic operator with a vector field and an electric potential that depend not only on the space variable but also on the time variable. More precisely, we attempt to stably and simultaneously retrieve the real valued velocity field and the real valued potential from the knowledge of Neumann measurements performed on the whole boundary of the domain. We establish in dimension n greater than two, stability estimates for the problem under consideration. Thereafter, by enlarging the set of data we show that the unknown terms can be stably retrieved in larger regions including the whole domain. The proof of the main results are mainly based on the reduction of the inverse problem under investigation to an equivalent and classic inverse problem for an electro-magnetic wave equation.

In this paper we consider the inverse scattering problem for the Schr{\"o}dinger operator with short-range electric potential. We prove in dimension n $\geq$ 2 that the knowledge of the scattering operator determines the electric potential and we establish H{\"o}lder-type stability in determining the short range electric potential.

This article is concerned with uniqueness and stability issues for the inverse spectral problem of recovering the magnetic field and the electric potential in a Riemannian manifold from some asymptotic knowledge of the boundary spectral data of the corresponding Schr\"odinger operator under Dirichlet boundary conditions. The spectral data consist of some asymptotic knowledge of a subset of eigenvalues and Neumann traces of the associated eigenfunctions of the magnetic Laplacian. We also address the same question for Schr\"odinger operators under Neumann boundary conditions, in which case we measure the Dirichlet traces of eigenfunctions. In our results we characterize the uniqueness of the magnetic field from a rate of growth of the eigenvalues, combined with suitable asymptotic properties of boundary observation of eigenfunctions, of the associated magnetic Schr\"odinger operator. To our best knowledge this is the first result proving uniqueness from such general asymptotic behavior of boundary spectral data.

Prices of European call options in a regime-switching local volatility model can be computed by solving a parabolic system which generalises the classical Black and Scholes equation, giving these prices as functionals of the local volatilities. We prove Lipschitz stability for the inverse problem of determining the local volatilities from quoted call option prices for a range of strikes, if the calls are indexed by the different states of the continuous Markov chain which governs the regime switches.

This paper is focused on the study of an inverse problem for a non-self-adjoint hyperbolic equation. More precisely, we attempt to stably recover a first order coefficient appearing in a wave equation from the knowledge of Neumann boundary data. We show in dimension n greater than two, a stability estimate of H{\"o}lder type for the inverse problem under consideration. The proof involves the reduction to an auxiliary inverse problem for an electromagnetic wave equation and the use of an appropriate Carleman estimate.

We study the inverse problem of determining the magnetic field and the electric potential entering the Schr\"odinger equation in an infinite 3D cylindrical domain, by Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. The cylindrical domain we consider is a closed waveguide in the sense that the cross section is a bounded domain of the plane. We prove that the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map determines uniquely, and even H\"older-stably, the magnetic field induced by the magnetic potential and the electric potential. Moreover, if the maximal strength of both the magnetic field and the electric potential, is attained in a fixed bounded subset of the domain, we extend the above results by taking finitely extended boundary observations of the solution, only.

In this paper, we treat the inverse problem of determining two time-dependent coefficients appearing in a dissipative wave equation, from measured Neumann boundary observations. We establish in dimension $n\geq 2$, stability estimates with respect to the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of these coefficients provided that are known outside a cloaking regions. Moreover, we prove that it can be stably recovered in larger subsets of the domain by enlarging the set of data

We consider elliptic transmission problems with complex coefficients across an interface. Under proper transmission conditions, that extend known conditions for well-posedness, and sub-ellipticity we derive microlocal and local Carleman estimates near the interface. Carleman estimates are weighted a priori estimates of the solutions of the elliptic transmission problem. The weight is of exponential form, exp($tau$ {\phi}) where $tau$ can be taken as large as desired. Such estimates have numerous applications in unique continuation, inverse problems, and control theory. The proof relies on microlocal factorizations of the symbols of the conjugated operators in connection with the sign of the imaginary part of their roots. We further consider weight functions where {\phi} = exp($\gamma$$\psi$), with $\gamma$ acting as a second large paremeter, and we derive estimates where the dependency upon the two parameters, $tau$ and $\gamma$, is made explicit. Applications to unique continuation properties are given., Comment: 58 pages

In this paper we investigate the inverse problem of determining the time independent scalar potential of the dynamic Schr\"odinger equation in an infinite cylindrical domain, from partial measurement of the solution on the boundary. Namely, if the potential is known in a neighborhood of the boundary of the spatial domain, we prove that it can be logarithmic stably determined in the whole waveguide from a single observation of the solution on any arbitrary strip-shaped subset of the boundary.

We consider the nonstationary linearized Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain and first we prove a Carleman estimate with a regular weight function. Second we apply the Carleman estimate to a lateral Cauchy problem for the Navier-Stokes equations and prove the H\"older stability in determining the velocity and pressure field in an interior domain.

In this paper, we consider a coupled system of mixed hyperbolic-parabolic type which describes the Biot consolidation model in poro-elasticity. We establish a local Carleman estimate for Biot consilidation system. Using this estimate, we prove the uniqueness and a H\"older stability in determining on the one hand a physical parameter arising in connection with secondary consolidation effects $\lambda^*$ and on the other hand the two spatially varying density by a single measurement of solution over $\omega \times (0, T)$, where $T>0$ is a sufficiently large time and a suitable subbdomain $\omega$ satisfying $\p \omega \supset \p \Omega$.

According to Biot's paper in 1956, by using the Lagrangian equations in classical mechanics, we consider a problem of the filtration of a liquid in porous elastic-deformation media whose mechanical behavior is described by the Lam'e system coupled with a hyperbolic equation. Assuming the null surface displacement on the whole boundary, we discuss an inverse source problem of determining a body force only by observation of surface traction on a suitable subdomain along a sufficiently large time interval. Our main result is a H\"older stability estimate for the inverse source problem, which is proved by a new Carleman estimat for Biot's system.

The Black-Scholes model gives vanilla Europen call option prices as a function of the volatility. We prove Lipschitz stability in the inverse problem of determining the implied volatility, which is a function of the underlying asset, from a collection of quoted option prices with different strikes.

We consider the inverse problem of determining the isotropic inhomogeneous electromagnetic coefficients of the non-stationary Maxwell equations in a bounded domain of R^3, from a finite number of boundary measurements. Our main result is a H\"older stability estimate for the inverse problem, where the measurements are exerted only in some boundary components. For it, we prove a global Carleman estimate for the heterogeneous Maxwell's system with boundary conditions.

We prove a stability estimate of logarithmic type for the inverse problem consisting in the determination of the surface impedance of an obstacle from the scattering amplitude. We present a simple and direct proof which is essentially based on an elliptic Carleman inequality.

In this paper we are interested in establishing stability estimates in the inverse problem of determining on a compact Riemannian manifold the electric potential or the conformal factor in a Schr\"odinger equation with Dirichlet data from measured Neumann boundary observations. This information is enclosed in the dynamical Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to the Schr\"odinger equation. We prove in dimension n bigger than 2 that the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the Schr\"odinger equation uniquely determines the electric potential and we establish H\"older-type stability estimates in determining the potential. We prove similar results for the determination of a conformal factor close to 1.
