Abstract:
In this paper we consider the acoustic equation c2 (x)u + k2u 0, x+n, n 3, where 0 < c1c2 (x) c2, c(x) - 1 O(e-|x|), > 0 and +n {(x', xn) n : xn 0}. This equation can be rewritten in the form -u - k2u + q(x)u 0, where q(x) k2 (1 - c-2 (x)) O(e-|x|). Assuming that u(x) satisfies Robin boundary conditions on xn 0, we prove that the scattering amplitude at fixed energy determines the potential function q(x).
