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 $\mathcal O\subset \mathbb R^2$ be a bounded domain with a smooth boundary, and ${\rm div}(\gamma\nabla u) =0,~~ x=(x_1,x_2) \in \mathcal O. $The inverse conductivity problem (of recovering $\gamma$ by the Dirichlet-to Neumann map $\Lambda_\gamma: u|_{\partial\mathcal O}\to \gamma\frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}|_{\partial\mathcal O}$) will be reduced to the inverse scattering problem for the Dirac equation. The latter problem will be solved using $\overline{\partial}$-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 $\overline{\partial}$-method for the Schrodinger equation with applications to the Novikov-Veselov equation. See more details in the papers below.
