Abstract: The authors study the inverse problem of recovering damping coefficients for two coupled hyperbolic PDEs with Neumann boundary conditions by means of an additional measurement of Dirichlet boundary traces of the two solutions on a suitable, explicit subportion Γ1 of the boundary Γ, and over a computable time interval T > 0. Under sharp conditions on Γ0 = ΓnΓ1, T > 0, the uniqueness and stability of the damping coefficients are established. The proof uses critically the Carleman estimate due to Lasiecka et al. in 2000, together with a convenient tactical route “post-Carleman estimates” suggested by Isakov in 2006.
