On a problem of S.L. Sobolev

Michael V. Klibanov

Published 2015-08-26Version 1

In 1930 Sergey L. Sobolev [7,8] has proposed a construction of the solution of the Cauchy problem for the hyperbolic equation of the second order with variable coefficients in 3-d. Although Sobolev did not construct the fundamental solution, his construction was modified later by Romanov [4,5] to obtain the fundamental solution. However, these works impose a restrictive assumption of the regularity of geodesic lines in a large domain. In addition, it is unclear how to realize those methods numerically. In this paper a simple construction of a function, which is associated in a clear way with the fundamental solution of the acoustic equation with the variable speed in 3-d, is proposed. Conditions on geodesic lines are not imposed. An important feature of this construction is that it lends itself to effective computations.
