摘要

In recent years, several numerical methods for solving the unique continuation problem for the wave equation in a homogeneous medium with given data on the lateral boundary of the space-time cylinder have been proposed. This problem enjoys Lipschitz stability if the geometric control condition (GCC) is fulfilled, which allows devising optimally convergent numerical methods. In this article, we investigate whether these results carry over to the case in which the medium exhibits a jump discontinuity. Our numerical experiments suggest a positive answer. However, we also observe that the presence of discontinuities in the medium renders the computations far more demanding than in the homogeneous case.
