Uniqueness in one inverse problem for the elasticity system

Abstract

We consider an inverse problem for the stationary elasticity system with constant Lam´e coefficients and a variable matrix coefficient depending on the spatial variables and frequency. The right-hand side contains a delta-function whose support (source) varies in some domain disjoint from the support of the variable coefficient. The inverse problem is to find the coefficient from the scattered wave measured at the same point at which the perturbation originates. A uniqueness theorem is proven. The proof bases on reduction of the inverse problem to a family of equations with the M. Riesz potential.
