We consider the stability of the inverse problem consisting of the determination of a coefficient of order zero $q$, appearing in the Dirichlet initial-boundary value problem for a wave equation $\partial_t^2u-\Delta u+q(x)u=0$ in $(0,T)\times\Omega$, with $\Omega=\omega\times\mathbb{R}$ an unbounded cylindrical waveguide and $\omega$ a bounded smooth domain of $\mathbb{R}^2$, from boundary observations. The observation is given by the Dirichlet to Neumann map associated to the wave equation. Using suitable geometric optics solutions, we prove a Hölder stability estimate in the determination of $q$ from the Dirichlet to Neumann map. Moreover, provided that the coefficient $q$ is lying in a set of functions $\mathcal A$, where, for any $q_1,q_2\in\mathcal A$, $|q_1-q_2|$ attains its maximum in a fixed bounded subset of $\overline{\Omega}$, we extend this result to the same inverse problem with measurements on a bounded subset of the lateral boundary $(0,T)\times\partial\Omega$.
Keywords: scalar potential, wave equation, Inverse problem, infinite cylindrical domain..
