Early Access articles are published articles within a journal that have not yet been assigned to a formal issue. This means they do not yet have a volume number, issue number, or page numbers assigned to them, however, they can still be found and cited using their DOI (Digital Object Identifier). Early Access publication benefits the research community by making new scientific discoveries known as quickly as possible.
Readers can access Early Access articles via the “Early Access” tab for the selected journal.
We consider the multi-frequency inverse source problem in the presence of a non-homogeneous medium using passive measurements. Precisely, we derive stability estimates for determining the source from the knowledge of only the imaginary part of the radiated field on the boundary for multiple frequencies. The proof combines a spectral decomposition with a quantification of the unique continuation of the resolvent as a holomorphic function of the frequency. The obtained results show that the inverse problem is well posed when the frequency band is larger than the spatial frequency of the source.
