    In this paper we prove uniqueness for an inverse boundary value problem (IBVP) arising in electrodynamics. We assume that the electromagnetic properties of the medium, namely the magnetic permeability, the electric permittivity and the conductivity, are described by continuously differentiable functions

    In this paper we consider an inverse problem for the nn-dimensional random Schr\"{o}dinger equation (Δ−q+k2)u=0(\Delta-q+k^2)u = 0. We study the scattering of plane waves in the presence of a potential qq which is assumed to be a Gaussian random function such that its covariance is described by a pseudodifferential operator. Our main result is as follows: given the backscattered far field, obtained from a single realization of the random potential qq, we uniquely determine the principal symbol of the covariance operator of qq. Especially, for n=3n=3 this result is obtained for the full non-linear inverse backscattering problem. Finally, we present a physical scaling regime where the method is of practical importance.Comment: Previous version 48 pages; Current version 51 pages, 3 figures, several references have been adde
