Toeplitz matrices in the Boundary Control method (2107.03811v1)

Abstract: Solving inverse problems by dynamical variant of the BC-method is basically reduced to inverting the connecting operator $C^T$ of the dynamical system, for which the problem is stated. Realizing the method numerically, one needs to invert the Gram matrix $\hat C^T={(C^Tf_i,f_j)}_{i,j=1}^N$ for a representative set of controls $f_i$. To raise the accuracy of determination of the solution, one has to increase the size $N$, which, especially in the multidimensional case, leads to a rapid increase in the amount of computations. However, there is a way to reduce it by the proper choice of $f_j$, due to which the matrix $\hat C^T$ gets a specific block-Toeplitz structure. In the paper, we explain, where this property comes from, and outline a way to use it in numerical implementation of the BC-algorithms.
