Hölder stability estimates for the determination of time-independent potentials in a relativistic wave equation in an infinite waveguide

Abstract

The main goal of this article is to establish Hölder stability estimates for the Calderón problem related to a relativistic wave equation. The principal novelty of this article is that the partial differential equation (PDE) under consideration depends on three unknown potentials, namely a temporal dissipative potential $A_0$, a spatial vector potential $A$ and an external potential $\Phi$. Moreover, the PDE is posed in an infinite waveguide geometry $\Omega =\omega \times \mathbb{R}$ and not on a bounded domain. For our proof it is essential that the potentials are time-independent as a key tool in this work are pointwise estimates for the Radon transform of the vector potential $\mathcal{A}=(A_0,\mathrm{i}A)$ and external potential $\Phi$. Furthermore, the demonstrated stability estimates hold for a wide range of $H^s$ Sobolev scales and a main contribution is to explicitly determine the dependence of the involved constants and the Hölder exponent on the Sobolev exponents of the potentials $A_0,A$ and $\Phi$.
