We consider uniqueness in an inverse Schr\"odinger problem in a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ given the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on part of the boundary. On the remaining boundary we impose a new type of singular boundary condition with…

We prove a local Lipschitz stability estimate for Gel'fand-Calder\'on's inverse problem for the Schr\"odinger equation. The main novelty is that only a finite number of boundary input data is available, and those are independent of the…

We present a new approach (distinct from Gel'fand-Levitan) to the theorem of Borg-Marchenko that the m-function (equivalently, spectral measure) for a finite interval or half-line Schr\"odinger operator determines the potential. Our…

A nonparametric variant of the Kiefer--Weiss problem is proposed and investigated. In analogy to the classical Kiefer--Weiss problem, the objective is to minimize the maximum expected sample size of a sequential test. However, instead of…

This paper is concerned with an inverse random potential problem for the Schr\"odinger equation. The random potential is assumed to be a generalized Gaussian random function, whose covariance operator is a classical pseudo-differential…

The Bayesian solution to a statistical inverse problem can be summarised by a mode of the posterior distribution, i.e. a MAP estimator. The MAP estimator essentially coincides with the (regularised) variational solution to the inverse…

In this work we develop a Bayesian setting to infer unknown parameters in initial-boundary value problems related to linear parabolic partial differential equations. We realistically assume that the boundary data are noisy, for a given…

In a Bayesian inverse problem setting, the solution consists of a posterior measure obtained by combining prior belief, information about the forward operator, and noisy observational data. This measure is most often given in terms of a…
