Abstract

We consider an inverse problem of determining spatially varying density and two Lamé coefficients in a non-stationary isotropic elastic equation by a single measurement of data on the whole lateral boundary. We prove the Lipschitz stability provided that initial data are suitably chosen. The proof is based on a Carleman estimate which can be obtained by the decomposition of the Lamé system into the rotation and the divergence components.
