Optimal stability estimate in the inverse boundary value problem for periodic potentials with partial data

Abstract

We consider the inverse boundary value problem for operators of the form $-\triangle+q$ in an infinite domain $\Omega=\mathbb{R}\times\omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{1+n}$, $n\geq3$, with a periodic potential $q$. For Dirichlet-to-Neumann data localized on a portion of the boundary of the form $\Gamma_1=\mathbb{R}\times\gamma_1$, with $\gamma_1$ being the complement either of a flat or spherical portion of $\partial\omega$, we prove that a log-type stability estimate holds.
