A layer stripping algorithm in elastic impedance tomography

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider the general elasticity system \[ \sum^n_{j,k,l=1}\partial_j(C_{ijkl}(x)\partial_l u_k(x))=0\quad\text{in }\Omega(t),\quad i=1,\dots,n, \] \[ u=f\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega(t)\qquad (u=(u_1,\dots,u_n)), \] where \(\Omega(t)= \{x\in\Omega: \text{dist}(x,\partial\Omega)>t\}\), \(\Omega\) is a smooth bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(C\) is an elastic tensor. The elastic Dirichlet to Neumann map \(\Lambda(t)\) is defined as \[ (\Lambda(t)f)_i= \sum^n_{j,k,l=1}\nu_j C_{ijkl}\partial_l u_k\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega(t). \] The authors show that \(\Lambda(t)\) is a classical pseudodifferential operator of order 1 and that it satisfies the Riccati type equation \[ D_t\Lambda_c(t)+ A(t)\Lambda_c(t)+ \Lambda_c(t) B(t)+ \Lambda^2_c(t)+ F(t)=0, \] where \(A\), \(B\), \(F\), \(\Lambda_c\) are determined by \(C\) and \(\Lambda\) on \(\partial\Omega(t)\). This paper builds a foundation for layer stripping algorithms in general elasticity and contains an extensive bibliography of the subject (papers of the authors and of John Sylvester).
