We show global uniqueness in the fractional Calderón problem with a single measurement and with data on arbitrary, possibly disjoint subsets of the exterior. The previous work \cite{GhoshSaloUhlmann} considered the case of infinitely many measurements. The method is again based on the strong uniqueness properties for the fractional equation, this time combined with a unique continuation principle from sets of measure zero. We also give a constructive procedure for determining an unknown potential from a single exterior measurement, based on constructive versions of the unique continuation result that involve different regularization schemes.
In this paper we study the inverse conductivity problem with partial data. Moreover, we show that, in dimension $n\geq 3$ the uniqueness of the Calderón problem holds for the $C^{1}\bigcap H^{3/2, 2}$ conductivities.
We use X^{s,b}-inspired spaces to prove a uniqueness result for Calderon's problem in a Lipschitz domain under the assumption that the conductivity is Lipschitz. For Lipschitz conductivities, we obtain uniqueness for conductivities close to the identity in a suitable sense. We also prove uniqueness for arbitrary C^1 conductivities.
In this note we prove the exponential instability of the fractional Calderón problem and thus prove the optimality of the logarithmic stability estimate from \cite{RS17}. In order to infer this result, we follow the strategy introduced by Mandache in \cite{M01} for the standard Calderón problem. Here we exploit a close relation between the fractional Calderón problem and the classical Poisson operator. Moreover, using the construction of a suitable orthonormal basis, we also prove (almost) optimality of the Runge approximation result for the fractional Laplacian, which was derived in \cite{RS1…
We determine both the magnetic potential and the electric potential from the exterior partial measurements of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map in the fractional linear magnetic Calderón problem by using an integral identity. We also determine both the magnetic potential and the nonlinearity in the fractional semilinear magnetic Calderón problem by using a first order linearization.
The Calderón problem is an inverse problem with applications to electrical impedance tomography and geophysical prospection. We prove uniqueness in the Calderón problem in spatial dimension $n \geq 3$ for scalar conductivities in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}$ with $p \geq n$. This generalizes a result of Haberman who considered the case $p \geq n$ and $n=3$ or $4$. Our method of proof combines a Fourier series approach with an analytic criterion for infinitesimal boundedness of potentials appearing in a Schrödinger equation with respect to the Laplacian.
We review recent progress in the fractional Calderón problem, where one tries to determine an unknown coefficient in a fractional Schrödinger equation from exterior measurements of solutions. This equation enjoys remarkable uniqueness and approximation properties, which turn out to yield strong results in related inverse problems.
We prove fine higher regularity results of Calderón-Zygmund-type for equations involving nonlocal operators modelled on the fractional $p$-Laplacian with possibly discontinuous coefficients of VMO-type. We accomplish this by establishing precise pointwise bounds in terms of certain fractional sharp maximal functions. This approach is new already in the linear setting and enables us to deduce sharp regularity results also in borderline cases.
We study the fractional Schrödinger equation with quasilocal perturbations. These are a family of nonlocal perturbations vanishing at infinity, which include e.g. convolutions against Schwartz functions. We show that the qualitative unique continuation and Runge approximation properties hold in the assumption of sufficient decay. Quantitative versions of both results are also obtained via a propagation of smallness analysis for the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension. The results are then used to show uniqueness in the inverse problem of retrieving a quasilocal perturbation from DN data under suita…
We introduce the fractional magnetic operator involving a magnetic potential and an electric potential. We formulate an inverse problem for the fractional magnetic operator. We determine the electric potential from the exterior partial measurements of the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann map by using Runge approximation property.
We prove uniqueness in the inverse conductivity problem for uniformly elliptic conductivities in $W^{s,p}(Ω)$, where $Ω\subset \mathbb R^n$ is Lipschitz, $3\leq n \leq 6$, and $s$ and $p$ are such that $ W^{s,p}(Ω)\not \subset W^{1,\infty}(Ω)$. In particular, we obtain uniqueness for conductivities in $W^{1,n}(Ω)$ ($n=3,4$). This improves on the result of the author and Tataru, who assumed that the conductivity is Lipschitz.
In this note we discuss the conditional stability issue for the finite dimensional Calderón problem for the fractional Schrödinger equation with a finite number of measurements. More precisely, we assume that the unknown potential $q \in L^{\infty}(Ω) $ in the equation $((-Δ)^s+ q)u = 0 \mbox{ in } Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ satisfies the a priori assumption that it is contained in a finite dimensional subspace of $L^{\infty}(Ω)$. Under this condition we prove Lipschitz stability estimates for the fractional Calderón problem by means of finitely many Cauchy data depending on $q$. We allow for the …
We obtain Musielak Orlicz bumps conditions on a pair of weights for the boundedness of Calderón Zygmund operators and their commutators between variable Lebesgue spaces with different weights. The symbols of the commutators belong to a wider class of functions. We also give Bloom type estimates for commutators of Calderón Zygmund and fractional integral operators in the variable Lebesgue context. The techniques involved in both type of results are related with the theory of sparse domination.
In this short note we prove the logarithmic stability of the single measurement uniqueness result for the fractional Calderón problem which had been derived in \cite{GRSU18}. To this end, we use the quantitative uniqueness results established in \cite{RS20a} and complement these bounds with a boundary doubling estimate. The latter yields control of the order of vanishing of solutions to the fractional Schrödinger equation. Then, following a scheme introduced in \cite{S10,ASV13} in the context of the determination of a surface impedance from far field measurements, this allows us to deduce loga…
We show global uniqueness in an inverse problem for the fractional Schrödinger equation: an unknown potential in a bounded domain is uniquely determined by exterior measurements of solutions. We also show global uniqueness in the partial data problem where the measurements are taken in arbitrary open, possibly disjoint, subsets of the exterior. The results apply in any dimension $\geq 2$ and are based on a strong approximation property of the fractional equation that extends earlier work. This special feature of the nonlocal equation renders the analysis of related inverse problems radically d…
In this Note, we present a Calderón-type uniqueness theorem on the Cauchy problem of stochastic partial differential equations. To this aim, we introduce the concept of stochastic pseudo-differential operators, and establish their boundedness and other fundamental properties. The proof of our uniqueness theorem is based on a new Carleman-type estimate.
We prove uniqueness for Calderón's problem with Lipschitz conductivities in higher dimensions. Combined with the recent work of Haberman, who treated the three and four dimensional cases, this confirms a conjecture of Uhlmann. Our proof builds on the work of Sylvester and Uhlmann, Brown, and Haberman and Tataru who proved uniqueness for $C^1$ conductivities and Lipschitz conductivities sufficiently close to the identity.
We study an inverse problem for the fractional Schrödinger equation (FSE) with a local perturbation by a linear partial differential operator (PDO) of order smaller than the order of the fractional Laplacian. We show that one can uniquely recover the coefficients of the PDO from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DN) map associated to the perturbed FSE. This is proved for two classes of coefficients: coefficients which belong to certain spaces of Sobolev multipliers and coefficients which belong to fractional Sobolev spaces with bounded derivatives. Our study generalizes recent results for the zeroth a…
In this article we study an inverse problem for the space-time fractional parabolic operator $(\partial_t-Δ)^s+Q$ with $0<s<1$ in any space dimension. We uniquely determine the unknown bounded potential $Q$ from infinitely many exterior Dirichlet-to-Neumann type measurements. This relies on Runge approximation and the dual global weak unique continuation properties of the equation under consideration. In discussing weak unique continuation of our operator, a main feature of our argument relies on a Carleman estimate for the associated fractional parabolic Caffarelli-Silvestre extension. Furthe…
The Calderón problem for the fractional Schrödinger equation was introduced in the work \cite{GSU}, which gave a global uniqueness result also in the partial data case. This article improves this result in two ways. First, we prove a quantitative uniqueness result showing that this inverse problem enjoys logarithmic stability under suitable a priori bounds. Second, we show that the results are valid for potentials in scale-invariant $L^p$ or negative order Sobolev spaces. A key point is a quantitative approximation property for solutions of fractional equations, obtained by combining a careful…
We investigate the Calderón problem for the fractional Schrödinger equation with drift, proving that the unknown drift and potential in a bounded domain can be determined simultaneously and uniquely by an infinite number of exterior measurements. In particular, in contrast to its local analogue, this nonlocal problem does \emph{not} enjoy a gauge invariance. The uniqueness result is complemented by an associated logarithmic stability estimate under suitable apriori assumptions. Also uniqueness under finitely many \emph{generic} measurements is discussed. Here the genericity is obtained through…
In this article we consider a linearized Calderón problem for polyharmonic operators of order $2m\ (m\ge 2)$ in the spirit of Calderón's original work [Cal80]. We give a uniqueness result for determining coefficients of order $\leq 2m-1$ up to gauge, based on inverting momentum ray transforms.
We investigate inverse problems in the determination of leading coefficients for nonlocal parabolic operators, by knowing the corresponding Cauchy data in the exterior space-time domain. The key contribution is that we reduce nonlocal parabolic inverse problems to the corresponding local inverse problems with the lateral boundary Cauchy data. In addition, we derive a new equation and offer a novel proof of the unique continuation property for this new equation. We also build both uniqueness and non-uniqueness results for both nonlocal isotropic and anisotropic parabolic Calderón problems, resp…
We are concerned with the Calderón problem of determining an unknown conductivity of a body from the associated boundary measurement. We establish a logarithmic type stability estimate in terms of the Hausdorff distance in determining the support of a convex polygonal inclusion by a single partial boundary measurement. We also derive the uniqueness result in a more general scenario where the conductivities are piecewise constants supported in a nested polygonal geometry. Our methods in establishing the stability and uniqueness results have a significant technical initiative and a strong potent…
In these notes we prove log-type stability for the Calderón problem with conductivities in $ C^{1,\varepsilon}(\barΩ) $. We follow the lines of a recent work by Haberman and Tataru in which they prove uniqueness for $ C^1(\barΩ) $.
In this paper we prove log log type stability estimates for inverse boundary value problems on admissible Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n \geq 3$. The stability estimates correspond to a couple of uniqueness results by Dos Santos Ferrera, Kenig, Salo and Uhlmann. These inverse problems arise naturally when studying the anisotropic Calderón problem.
In this article we consider the simultaneous recovery of bulk and boundary potentials in (degenerate) elliptic equations modelling (degenerate) conducting media with inaccessible boundaries. This connects local and nonlocal Calderón type problems. We prove two main results on these type of problems: On the one hand, we derive simultaneous bulk and boundary Runge approximation results. Building on these, we deduce uniqueness for localized bulk and boundary potentials. On the other hand, we construct a family of CGO solutions associated with the corresponding equations. These allow us to deduce …
In dimensions greater than or equal to three, we establish global uniqueness and obtain reconstruction in the Calderon problem for the Schrodinger equation with certain singular potentials. The potentials considered are conormal of order less than 1-k with respect to submanifolds (of arbitrary codimension k). This gives positive results for (conormal) conductivities which are Holder of any order > 1. A related problem for highly singular potentials is shown to exhibit nonuniqueness.
We are concerned with the Calderón inverse inclusion problem, where one intends to recover the shape of an inhomogeneous conductive inclusion embedded in a homogeneous conductivity by the associated boundary measurements. We consider the highly challenging case with a single partial boundary measurement, which constitutes a long-standing open problem in the literature. It is shown in several existing works that corner singularities can help to resolve the uniqueness and stability issues for this inverse problem. In this paper, we show that the corner singularity can be relaxed to be a certain …
We study the multi-channel Gel'fand-Calderón inverse problem in two dimensions, i.e. the inverse boundary value problem for the equation $-Δψ+ v(x) ψ= 0$, $x\in D$, where $v$ is a smooth matrix-valued potential defined on a bounded planar domain $D$. We give an exact global reconstruction method for finding $v$ from the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. This also yields a global uniqueness results: if two smooth matrix-valued potentials defined on a bounded planar domain have the same Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator then they coincide.
Uniqueness in the Calderón problem in dimension bigger than two was usually studied under the assumption that conductivity has bounded gradient. For conductivities with unbounded gradients uniqueness results have not been known until recent years. The latest result due to Haberman basically relies on the optimal $L^2$ restriction estimate for hypersurface which is known as the Tomas-Stein restriction theorem. In the course of developments of the Fourier restriction problem bilinear and multilinear generalizations of the (adjoint) restriction estimates under suitable transversality condition be…
In this paper we define a Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a twisted Dirac Laplacian acting on bundle-valued spinors over a spin manifold. We show that this map is a pseudodifferential operator of order 1 whose symbol determines the Taylor series of the metric and connection at the boundary. We go on to show that if two real-analytic connections couple to a spinor via the Yang--Mills--Dirac equations with appropriate boundary conditions, and have equal Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps, then the two connections are locally gauge equivalent. In the abelian case, the connections are globally gauge equivalen…
The unique determination of a measurable conductivity from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of the equation $\mathrm{div} (σ\nabla u) = 0$ is the subject of this note. A new strategy, based on Clifford algebras and a higher dimensional analogue of the Beltrami equation, is here proposed. This represents a possible first step for a proof of uniqueness for the Calderón problem in three and higher dimensions in the $L^\infty$ case.
In this paper, we introduce an inverse problem of a Schrödinger type variable nonlocal elliptic operator $(-\nabla\cdot(A(x)\nabla))^{s}+q)$, for $0<s<1$. We determine the unknown bounded potential $q$ from the exterior partial measurements associated with the nonlocal Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for any dimension $n\geq2$. Our results generalize the recent initiative [16] of introducing and solving inverse problem for fractional Schrödinger operator $((-Δ)^{s}+q)$ for $0<s<1$. We also prove some regularity results of the direct problem corresponding to the variable coefficients fractional differ…
The purpose of this article is to extend the uniqueness results for the two dimensional Calderón problem to unbounded potentials on general geometric settings. We prove that the Cauchy data sets for Schrödinger equations uniquely determines potentials in $L^{p}$ for $p> 4/3$. In doing so, we first recover singularities of the potential, from which point a $L^2$-based method of stationary phase can be applied. Both steps are done via constructions of complex geometric optic solutions and Carleman estimates.
