Inverse Conductivity Problem and Nonlinear Integrable Systems
We will discuss two-dimensional inverse conductivity problem and the solution of the Davey-Stewartson II equation. Let O⊂R2 be a bounded domain with a smooth boundary, and div(γ∇u)=0, x=(x1,x2)∈O.The inverse conductivity problem (of recovering γ by the Dirichlet-to Neumann map Λγ:u|∂O→γ∂u∂ν|∂O) will be reduced to the inverse scattering problem for the Dirac equation. The latter problem will be solved using ¯∂-method without any assumptions on a symmetry or smallness of the potential. This will allow us to solve the Davey-Stewartson II equation without assumptions on the absence of exceptional points. These results are extensions of our recent results with R.Novikov on ¯∂-method for the Schrodinger equation with applications to the Novikov-Veselov equation. See more details in the papers below.
