Abstract
In this paper I consider the inverse boundary value problem for a quasilinear, anisotropic, elliptic equation of the form , where is a smooth, matrix valued, function with a uniform lower bound. I show that boundary Dirichlet and Neumann data for this equation, in the form of a Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, determine the coefficient matrix uniquely, in dimension 3 and higher. This stands in contrast to the classical linear anisotropic Calder\'on problem where there is a known obstruction to uniqueness due to the invariance of the boundary data under transformations of the equation via any boundary fixing diffeomorphism.
