Stable determination of an anisotropic inclusion in the Schrödinger equation from local Cauchy data

Abstract

We consider the inverse problem of determining an inclusion contained in a body for a Schrödinger type equation by means of local Cauchy data. Both the body and the inclusion are made by inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials. Under mild a priori assumptions on the unknown inclusion, we establish a logarithmic stability estimate in terms of the local Cauchy data. In view of possible applications, we also provide a stability estimate in terms of an ad-hoc misfit functional.
