Inverse nonstationary problem of scattering for a hyperbolic system of \(n\) equations of the first order on a semiaxis (Q1190928)

The hyperbolic system \(\sigma\partial_ t\psi(x,t)-\partial_ x\psi(x,t)=U(x,t)\psi(x,t)\), \(x\geq 0\), \(t\in\mathbb{R}\), is considered, where \(\sigma=\text{diag}(\xi_ 1,\dots,\xi_ n)\) is a diagonal matrix with elements \(\xi_ 1>\cdots>\xi_{n-1}>0>\xi_ n\) and \(U\) is a suitable vector valued potential. A direct and an inverse scattering problem are investigated.
