Snapshot problems for the wave equation and for the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we deal with snapshot problems for the wave equation and for the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation. For simplicity, let us consider the wave equation $\partial_t^2 u - \Delta u =0$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the condition $u|_{t=t_1} =f_1, \cdots, u|_{t=t_m} =f_m$. It is natural to ask when the above equation has a unique solution. We call the above problem the snapshot problem for the wave equation, and the set of $m$ functions $\{ f_1, \cdots, f_m \}$ the snapshot data. Roughly speaking, one of our main results is as follows.

Theorem. We assume that $m=3$ and $(t_3-t_1)/(t_2 -t_1)$ is irrational and not a Liouville number. In addition, we assume a certain compatibility condition on the snapshot data $\{ f_1, f_2, f_3 \}$. Then the snapshot problem for the wave equation has a unique solution.

We also consider a similar snapshot problem for the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation. This is a joint work with Jens Christensen, Fulton Gonzalez, and Jue Wang.
