2 Introduction Introduction The field u satisfies u(x) + k 2 (1 + n(x))u(x) = f(x) in Ω (1) u = 0 on Ω (2) k is the given frequency, n(x) is refractive index, supported in compact domain Ω and f(x) is source function as superposition of point sources. f 1 = λ 1δ(x x 1) f 3 = λ 3δ(x x 3) Ω source function f(x) = m j=1 λjδ(x xj) u = 0 on Ω differential data: u on Ω n f 2 = λ 2δ(x x 2) Y.Zhong (UT Austin) Recovering point source in unknown environment April 29, / 34

3 Forward source problem Introduction Problem (Forward source problem) We assume source f(x) is the superposition of some point sources, find a function u H 1 (Ω) such that B(u, v) = f, v (3) where sesquilinear form B : H 1 (Ω) H 1 (Ω) C is defined as: B(u, v) = u, v L 2 (Ω) k 2 (1 + n)u, v L 2 (Ω) Λγu, γv L 2 ( Ω) (4) where γ : H 1 (Ω) H 1/2 ( Ω) is the trace operator, and Λ : H 1/2 ( Ω) H 1/2 ( Ω) is the Dirichlet to Neumann operator. Here we assume 0 is not an eigenvalue of operator + k 2 (1 + n(x)) and we can obtain well-posedness from the forward problem by utilizing Resiz-Fredholm theory.

12 Scheme Our approach Our Objective To recover both the refractive index n(x) and source function f(x) using differential data To study stability of recovering f(x) with respect to perturbation of n(x) We are going to formulate our scheme as two steps: Reconstruct refractive index n(x) by adding test sources and measuring differential data Reconstruct source function f(x) from the reconstructed ˆn(x) Y.Zhong (UT Austin) Recovering point source in unknown environment April 29, / 34

13 Recovering refractive index Our approach The solution field u satisfies: u + k 2 (1 + n)u = f (5) If we put some test sources g in our domain Ω R n, then the modified field ũ should satisfy: Subtract (5) from (6), taking ω = ũ u: ũ + k 2 (1 + n)ũ = f + g (6) ω + k 2 (1 + n)ω = g (7) with data as Λγω = Λγũ Λγu on the boundary of the domain Ω. Y.Zhong (UT Austin) Recovering point source in unknown environment April 29, / 34

14 Recovering refractive index Our approach If we choose g carefully, we can modify (7) as: ˆω + k 2 (1 + n)ˆω = 0 in Ω (8) ˆω = h on Ω (9) where h is the modified boundary condition corresponding to the test source function, multi-frequency k K, where K is an admissible set, and measurements are ˆω = Λγ ˆω n on the boundary.

15 Recovering refractive index Our approach Theorem (Uniqueness) If Dirichlet to Neumann map Λ : h(x) h(x) associated with refractive index n(x) is n provided for each h(x) C 1 (R n ), then n(x) can be recovered uniquely.

17 Recovering refractive index Our approach Theorem (Uniqueness) If Dirichlet to Neumann map Λ : h(x) h(x) associated with refractive index n(x) is n provided for each h(x) C 1 (R n ), then n(x) can be recovered uniquely. Unfortunately this problem is extremely ill-posed. In practice we use finite number of test source functions {g i} I i=1.

18 Recovering refractive index Our approach Theorem (Uniqueness) If Dirichlet to Neumann map Λ : h(x) h(x) associated with refractive index n(x) is n provided for each h(x) C 1 (R n ), then n(x) can be recovered uniquely. Unfortunately this problem is extremely ill-posed. In practice we use finite number of test source functions {g i} I i=1. Qustion Can we get a good recovery of n(x) by using a few test source functions only? Y.Zhong (UT Austin) Recovering point source in unknown environment April 29, / 34

19 Stability Our approach Theorem (Stability estimation,nagayasu-uhlmann-wang,iop,2013) Suppose n 1(x), n 2(x) are two refractive indices associated with Dirichlet to Neumann maps Λ 1, Λ 2 respectively. And assume that for s > n 2 + 1, n l(x) H s M, supp(n 1 n 2) Ω R n,there exists a constant C(n, s, Ω), C 1(n, s, Ω), such that if k 2 1 C 1 M, Λ1 Λ2 e 1, n 1 n 2 H s C k 2 exp(ck2 ) Λ 1 Λ 2 + C(k 2 log( Λ 1 Λ 2 )) n 2s We can see there is an exponential instability here. And we can see there is an increasing stability by increasing frequencies k. Y.Zhong (UT Austin) Recovering point source in unknown environment April 29, / 34

20 Algorithm Our approach We formulate the approach as the following minimization problem: where, J(n) = k K d j Ω min J(n) n Λγ ˆω j Λh j 2 dσ + α n 2 dx Ω where Λh j is the differential data for test source g j = e ikx d j, α is regularization parameter.
