Abstract

This paper concerns the inverse problem of retrieving the principal coefficient in a Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation from boundary measurements of a single solution. The Lipschitz stability of this inverse problem is obtained using a new global Carleman estimate for the linearized KdV equation. The proof is based on the Bukhgeĭm–Klibanov method.
