Abstract

We study the multi-channel Gel'fand-Calder\'on inverse problem in two dimensions, i.e. the inverse boundary value problem for the equation Δψ+v(x)ψ=0-\Delta \psi + v(x) \psi = 0, xDx\in D, where vv is a smooth matrix-valued potential defined on a bounded planar domain DD. We give an exact global reconstruction method for finding vv from the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. This also yields a global uniqueness results: if two smooth matrix-valued potentials defined on a bounded planar domain have the same Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator then they coincide.
