Review text

The paper shows that the reconstruction of a certain type of length spaces from their travel time data on a closed subset is Lipschitz stable. This data includes distance functions from the entire space, specifically measured on a chosen closed subset. An example of this situation is a Riemannian manifold with boundary, where the boundary acts as the measurement set. This presents a classic geometric inverse problem stemming from the Gel'fand inverse boundary spectral problem. Spaces that fall under these assumptions include non-simple Riemannian manifolds, Euclidean domains with non-trivial topology, and metric trees.
