Calderon inverse Problem with partial data on Riemann Surfaces

On a fixed smooth compact Riemann surface with boundary $(M_0,g)$, we show that for the Schr\"odinger operator $\Delta +V$ with potential $V\in C^{1,\alpha}(M_0)$ for some $\alpha>0$, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map $N|_{\Gamma}$ measured on an open set $\Gamma\subset \partial M_0$ determines uniquely the potential $V$. We also discuss briefly the corresponding consequences for potential scattering at 0 frequency on Riemann surfaces with asymptotically Euclidean or asymptotically hyperbolic ends.Comment: 27 pages.

Anti-selfdual Lagrangians II: Unbounded non self-adjoint operators and evolution equations

This paper is a continuation of [13], where new variational principles were introduced based on the concept of anti-selfdual (ASD) Lagrangians. We continue here the program of using these Lagrangians to provide variational formulations and resolutions to various basic equations and evolutions which do not normally fit in the Euler-Lagrange framework. In particular, we consider stationary equations of the form $-Au\in \partial \phi (u)$ as well as i dissipative evolutions of the form $-\dot{u}(t)-A_t u(t)+\omega u(t) \in \partial \phi (t, u(t))$ were $\phi$ is a convex potential on an infinite dimensional space. In this paper, the emphasis is on the cases where the differential operators involved are not necessarily bounded, hence completing the results established in [13] for bounded linear operators. Our main applications deal with various nonlinear boundary value problems and parabolic initial value equations governed by the transport operator with or without a diffusion term.Comment: 30 pages.

Inverse problems with partial data for a Dirac system: a Carleman estimate approach

We prove that the material parameters in a Dirac system with magnetic and electric potentials are uniquely determined by measurements made on a possibly small subset of the boundary. The proof is based on a combination of Carleman estimates for first and second order systems, and involves a reduction of the boundary measurements to the second order case. For this reduction a certain amount of decoupling is required. To effectively make use of the decoupling, the Carleman estimates are established for coefficients which may become singular in the asymptotic limit.Comment: 23 page
