We study an inverse problem for nonlinear elliptic equations modelled after the p-Laplacian. It is proved that the boundary values of a conductivity coefficient are uniquely determined from boundary measurements given by a nonlinear Dirichletto-Neumann map. The result is constructive and local, and gives a method for determining the coefficient at a boundary point from measurements in a small n...

We show that the full symbol of the Dirichlet to Neumann map of the k-form Laplace’s equation on a Riemannian manifold (of dimension greater than 2) with boundary determines the full Taylor series of the metric at the boundary. This extends the result of Lee and Uhlmann for the case k = 0. The proof avoids the computation of the full symbol by using the calculus of pseudo-differential operators...

In this communication a Variation Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) for the solution of identification inverse problems is presented. This equation relates the variation of the fields along the boundary with the variation of the geometry of a flaw, whose position and shape are unknown beforehand. The Variation BIE is obtained linearizing the difference between the standard BIE for the actual con...

We consider an inverse problem for determining an inhomogeneity in a viscoelastic body of the Zener type, using Cauchy boundary data, under cyclic loads at low frequency. We show that the inverse problem reduces to the one for the Helmholtz equation and to the same nonlinear Calderon equation given for the harmonic case. A method of solution is proposed which consists in two steps : solution of...

We examine the inverse problem of determining the shape of some unknown portion of the boundary of a region Ω from measurements of the Cauchy data for solutions to the heat equation on Ω. By suitably linearizing the inverse problem we obtain uniqueness and continuous dependence results. We propose an algorithm for recovering estimates of the unknown portion of the surface and use the insight ga...

We consider the inverse boundary value problem for the Schrödinger equation at fixed energy with boundary measurements represented as the impedance boundary map (or Robin-to-Robin map). We give formulas and equations for finding (generalized) scattering data for the aforementioned equation from boundary measurements in this impedance representation. Combining these results with results of the i...
