Local data inverse problem for the polyharmonic operator with anisotropic perturbations (Q6557663)

This article addresses the inverse problem of recovering anisotropic perturbations of a polyharmonic operator when a portion of the domain border is inaccessible. The inaccessible region is located within a hyperplane. The authors use knowledge of the boundary measurement localized in the accessible region to determine the unique recovery of lower-order perturbations in the domain, as described by the local Dirichlet to Neumann map. The proving approach involves extending the domain by reflecting on the hyperplane that contains the inaccessible region. Carleman estimations are employed in the extended domain to provide Complex Geometric Optic solutions. Using CGO solutions, the problem is reduced to a collection of integral equations that apply Momentum Ray Transforms to achieve the desired results.
