Abstract

In this paper we consider an inverse coefficients problem for a quasilinear elliptic equation of divergence form C(x,u(x))=0\nabla\cdot\vec{C}(x,\nabla u(x))=0, in a bounded smooth domain Ω\Omega. We assume that C(x,p)=γ(x)p+b(x)p2+O(p3)\overrightarrow{C}(x,\vec{p})=\gamma(x)\vec{p}+\vec{b}(x)|\vec{p}|^2+\mathcal{O}(|\vec{p}|^3), by expanding C(x,p)\overrightarrow{C}(x,\vec{p}) around p=0\vec{p}=0. We give a reconstruction method for γ\gamma and b\vec{b} from the Dirichlet to Neumann map defined on Ω\partial\Omega.
