If the time and spatial variables of the source term can be separated with compact support, we prove that the vector valued spatial source term can be uniquely determined by boundary Dirichlet data in the exterior of a given cavity. If the cavity is absent, uniqueness and stability for recovering source terms depending on the time variable and two spatial variables in the whole space are also obtained using partial Dirichlet boundary data.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-23T05:14:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "initial conditions", "time-dependent source", "uniqueness", "elastodynamics", "vector valued spatial source term" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
