New and Emerging Trends in the Calderón Problem

Objective

This proposal is concerned with the mathematical theory of inverse problems. This is a vibrant research field in mathematics, drawing techniques from partial differential equations (PDE), differential geometry, harmonic analysis, integral geometry and microlocal analysis, as well as generating new research questions inspired by applications.

A particular focus of this proposal is the Calderón problem together with its many variants. This foundational inverse problem for PDE serves as the mathematical model for electrical and optical imaging methods. Important current trends in research include an emphasis on geometric and Lorentzian cases, a shift of interest from linear to nonlinear and nonlocal PDE where nonlinearity or nonlocality is used as a beneficial tool for solving inverse problems, and the study of single measurement problems via scattering singularities. The PI has made fundamental contributions in each of these directions.

This project will address important current challenges, and particular objectives include:

1. Solution of the anisotropic Calderón problem in certain Lorentzian and Riemannian settings
2. Precise study of resolution in nonlinear inverse problems, also for algorithms based on neural networks
3. Inverse problems for nonlinear and nonlocal elliptic PDE, with novel approaches not based on linearization
4. Free boundary methods in inverse scattering and a detailed understanding of scattering singularities

Progress in any of these topics would be a significant development in the theory of inverse problems and would contribute to new connections between the inverse problems, nonlinear PDE and free boundary communities.
