Abstract

In this article, we provide a modified argument for proving conditional stability for inverse problems of determining spatially varying functions in evolution equations by Carleman estimates. Our method needs not any cut-off procedures and can simplify the existing proofs. We establish the conditional stability for inverse source problems for a hyperbolic equation and a parabolic equation, and our method is widely applicable to various evolution equations.
