Abstract

We consider an operator Δ2+A(x)D+q(x)\Delta^2 + A(x)\cdot D+q(x) with the Navier boundary conditions on a bounded domain in RnR^n, n3n\ge 3. We show that a first order perturbation A(x)D+qA(x)\cdot D+q can be determined uniquely by measuring the Dirichlet--to--Neumann map on possibly very small subsets of the boundary of the domain. Notice that the corresponding result does not hold in general for a first order perturbation of the Laplacian.
