Unified approach to classical equations of inverse problem theory

Abstract

The boundary control (BC-) method is an approach to inverse problems based upon their deep relations to control and system theory. We show that the classical integral equations of inverse problem theory (Gelfand-Levitan, Krein and Marchenko equations) can be derived in the framework of the BC-method in a unified way. Namely, to solve each of these equations is in fact to solve a relevant boundary control problem, whereas its solution is determined by the inverse data.
