Inverse problem for a nonlocal diffuse optical tomography equation

Analysis of PDEs 2023-07-11 v2

Abstract

In this article a nonlocal analogue of an inverse problem in diffuse optical tomography is considered. We show that whenever one has given two pairs of diffusion and absorption coefficients (γj,qj)(\gamma_j,q_j), j=1,2j=1,2, such that there holds q1=q2q_1=q_2 in the measurement set WW and they generate the same DN data, then they are necessarily equal in Rn\mathbb{R}^n and Ω\Omega, respectively. Additionally, we show that the condition q1W=q2Wq_1|_W=q_2|_W is optimal in the sense that without this restriction one can construct two distinct pairs (γj,qj)(\gamma_j,q_j), j=1,2j=1,2 generating the same DN data.
