A Globally Convergent Numerical Method for a Coefficient Inverse Problem with Backscattering Data

A survey of recent results of the authors is presented. This survey is short due to space limitations. A Coefficient Inverse Problem for a hyperbolic PDE with backscattering data is considered. A globally convergent numerical method for this problem is presented. Analytical results are supported by computational ones.
