Recovering All Coefficients in the Schr\"{o}dinger Equation With Finite Sets of Boundary Measurements

Abstract

We consider an inverse problem of recovering all spatial dependent coefficients in the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation defined on an open bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, with smooth enough boundary. We show that by appropriately selecting a finite number of initial conditions and a fixed Dirichlet boundary condition, we may recover all the coefficients in a Lipschitz stable fashion from the corresponding finitely many boundary measurements made on a portion of the boundary. The proof is based on a direct approach, which was introduced in \cite{HIY2020}, to derive the stability estimate directly from the Carleman estimates without any cut-off procedure or compactness-uniqueness argument.
