Abstract: The problem of the recovery of a real-valued potential in the two-dimensional Schrodinger equation at positive energy from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map is considered. It is know that this problem is severely ill-posed and the reconstruction of the potential is only logarithmic stable in general. In this paper a new stability estimate is proved, which is explicitly dependent on the regularity of the potentials and on the energy. Its main feature is an efficient increasing stability phenomenon at sufficiently high energies: in some sense, the stability rapidly changes from logarithmic type to Holder type. The paper develops also several estimates for a non-local Riemann-Hilbert problem which could be of independent interest.

Review text

Under consideration is the Gel'fand-Calderón problem of determining a real-valued potential \(v\) in the equation \[ -\Delta u + vu =E u,\;x\in \Omega\subset {\mathbb R}^{2}, \quad u|_{\partial \Omega}=f,\eqno{(1)} \] with \(E\) a fixed energy. It is assumed that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map \(\Phi(f)\) is given which takes a function \(f\in W_{2}^{1/2}(\partial \Omega)\) into a function \(\partial_{n} u|_{\partial \Omega}\in W_{2}^{-1/2}(\partial \Omega) \), where \(u\) is a solution to the problem (1) and \(n\) is the exterior unit normal to \(\partial \Omega\). The main result is a stability estimate for solutions to this problem. Let \(v_{i}\) \((i=1,2)\) be two potentials corresponding to two Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps \(\Phi_{i}\) such that \(\|v_{i}\|_{W_{1}^{m}(\Omega)}\leq N\) \((m>2)\). Under some additional natural conditions, it is proven that there exists a constant \(C>0\) such that, for every \(\tau\in (0,1)\), we have \[ \|v_{1}-v_{2}\|_{L_{\infty}(\Omega)}\leq C(E\tau^{\delta}+(\sqrt{E}+(1-\tau)\log(3+\delta^{-1}))^{2-m}) \] for sufficiently small \(\delta=\|\Phi_{1}-\Phi_{2}\|_{L_{\infty}(\partial D)\to L_{\infty}(\partial D)}\).
