Inverse problem on a tree-shaped network
  In this article, we prove a uniqueness result for a coefficient inverse problems regarding a wave, a heat or a Schr\"odinger equation set on a tree-shaped network, as well as the corresponding stability result of the inverse problem for the wave equation. The objective is the determination of the potential on each edge of the network from the additional measurement of the solution at all but one external end-points. Our idea for proving the uniqueness is to use a traditional approach in coefficient inverse problem by Carleman estimate. Afterwards, using an observability estimate on the whole network, we apply a compactness-uniqueness argument and prove the stability for the wave inverse problem.
