An inverse Cauchy problem of a stochastic hyperbolic equation

Abstract In this paper, we investigate an inverse Cauchy problem for a stochastic hyperbolic equation. A Lipschitz type observability estimate is established using a pointwise Carleman identity. By minimizing the constructed Tikhonov-type functional, we obtain a regularized approximation to the problem. The properties of the approximation are studied by means of the Carleman estimate and Riesz representation theorem. Leveraging kernel-based learning theory, we simulate numerical algorithms based on the proposed regularization method. These reconstruction algorithms are implemented and validated through several numerical experiments, demonstrating their feasibility and accuracy.
