On a modification of the dynamic regularization method for linear hyperbolic equations (Q2111799)

This paper propose an algorithm for the reconstruction of an unknown source term in a hyperbolic equation from measurements at some discrete times of the state and its time derivative. More exactly, the author study the convergence of the reconstruction of the unknown disturbance \(u\) in \[ \ddot{x}(t) + Ax(t) = Bu(t), \qquad t \in [t_0, \vartheta] \] from the noisy measurements of \((x(\tau_i), \ \dot{x}(\tau_i))_{0 \le i \le m}\) with \(\tau_i = t_0 + i(\vartheta - t_0)/m\). The idea of the proposed algorithm is to reduce this inverse problem to an auxiliary optimal control problem. In the case where the input action is a function of bounded variation, an upper bound for the convergence rate is established
