Abstract: We study the wave equation on a bounded domain of mathbbRm and on a compact Riemannian manifold M with boundary. We assume that the coefficients of the wave equation are unknown but that we are given the hyperbolic Neumann-to-Dirichlet map Lambda that corresponds to the physical measurements on the boundary. Using the knowledge of Lambda we construct a sequence of Neumann boundary values so that at a time T the corresponding waves converge to zero while the time derivative of the waves converge to a delta distribution. Such waves are called an artificial point source. The convergence of the wave takes place in the function spaces naturally related to the energy of the wave. We apply the results for inverse problems and demonstrate the focusing of the waves numerically in the 1-dimensional case.
