The Calderón problem for variable coefficients nonlocal elliptic operators

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce an inverse problem of a Schr\"odinger type variable nonlocal elliptic operator $(-\nabla\cdot(A(x)\nabla))^{s}+q)$, for $0<s<1$. We determine the unknown bounded potential $q$ from the exterior partial measurements associated with the nonlocal Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for any dimension $n\geq2$. Our results generalize the recent initiative [16] of introducing and solving inverse problem for fractional Schr\"odinger operator $((-\Delta)^{s}+q)$ for $0<s<1$. We also prove some regularity results of the direct problem corresponding to the variable coefficients fractional differential operator and the associated degenerate elliptic operator.
