Abstract
Consider an inverse problem of determining two stochastic source functions and the initial status simultaneously in a stochastic thermoelastic system, which is constituted of two stochastic equations of different types, namely a parabolic equation and a hyperbolic equation. To establish the conditional stability for such a coupling system in terms of some suitable norms revealing the stochastic property of the governed system, we first establish two Carleman estimates with regular weight function and two large parameters for stochastic parabolic equation and stochastic hyperbolic equation, respectively. By means of these two Carleman estimates, we finally prove the conditional stability for our inverse problem, provided the source in the elastic equation be known near the boundary and the solution be in an a priori bounded set. Due to the lack of information about the time derivative of wave field at the final time, the stability index with respect to the wave field at final time is found to be halved, which reveals the special characteristic of our inverse problem for the coupling system.
