<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We construct counterexamples to inverse problems for the wave operator on domains in <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ \mathbb{R}^{n+1} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ n \ge 2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, and on Lorentzian manifolds. We show that non-isometric Lorentzian metrics can lead to same partial data measurements, which are formulated in terms certain restrictions of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. The Lorentzian metrics giving counterexamples are time-dependent, but they are smooth and non-degenerate. On <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ \mathbb{R}^{n+1} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> the metrics are conformal to the Minkowski metric.</p>

Abstract In this paper, we consider inverse problems associated with the reduced wave equation on a bounded domain Ω belongs to R^N (N >= 2) for the case where unknown obstacles are embedded in the domain Ω. We show that, if both the leading and 0-order coefficients in the equation are a priori known to be piecewise constant functions, then both the coefficients and embedded obstacles can be simultaneously recovered in terms of the local Dirichlet-to-Neumann map defined on an arbitrary small open subset of the boundary \partial Ω. The method depends on a well-defined coupled PDE-system constructed for the reduced wave equations in a sufficiently small domain and the singularity analysis of solutions near the interface for the model.

This paper deals with an hyperbolic inverse problem of determining a time-dependent coefficient a appearing in a dissipative wave equation, from boundary observations. We prove in dimension n greater than two, that a can be uniquely determined in a precise subset of the domain, from the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map.
