Résumé

We prove that the family of all pairwise products of regular harmonic functions in a domain $D \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ and Newtonian potentials of points located on a ray outside $D$ is complete in $L_2(D)$. This result is used for justification of uniqueness of a solution to the linear integral equation to which inverse problems of wave sounding in $\mathbb{R}^3$ are reduced. The corresponding inverse problems are shown to be uniquely solvable in spatially non-overdetermined settings where the dimension of the spatial data support coincides with that of the support of the sought-for function. Uniqueness theorems are used for establishing that the axial symmetry of the input data for the inverse problems under consideration implies that of the solutions to these problems.

Détail

Keywords: harmonic function, completeness, inverse problem, hyperbolic equation, linear integral equation, uniqueness of solution, axial symmetry.
