Abstract

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.
