Abstract: We use the method of higher order linearization to study an inverse boundary value problem for the minimal surface equation on a Riemannian manifold $(mathbb{R}^n,g)$, where the metric $g$ is conformally Euclidean. In particular we show that with the knowledge of Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to the minimal surface equation, one can determine the Taylor series of the conformal factor $c(x)$ at $x_n=0$ up to a multiplicative constant. We show this both in the full data case and in some partial data cases.
