Boundary sentinels in cylindrical domains.
We study a model describing vibrations of a cylindrical domain with thickness e > 0. A characteristic of this model is that it contains pollution terms in the boundary data and missing terms in the initial data. The method of sentinels'' of J. L. Lions [7] is followed to construct a sentinel using the observed vibrations on the boundary. Such a sentinel, by construction, provides information on pollution terms independent of missing terms. This requires resolution of initial-boundary value...
