Stable determination of coefficients in nonlinear dynamical schrödinger equations by carleman estimates
Abstract
We consider the inverse problem of recovering stationary coefficients in a class of dynamical Schrödinger equations with locally analytic nonlinear terms. Upon treating the well-posedness for small initial data and trivial boundary data, we proceed to establish stable and unique determination provided knowledge of the coefficients near the boundary and the measured Neumann data of the solution. We discuss both the case of measurement on a subset of the boundary satisfying a certain geometric condition and, under stronger assumptions on the regularity and size of the coefficients, the case of measurement on arbitrary subsets of the boundary. Our argument relies on high-order linearization and Carleman estimates for the linear Schrödinger equation.
