In this paper, we study forward problem and inverse problem for the fractional magnetic Schrodinger equation with nonlinear electric potential. We first investigate the maximum principle for the linearized equation and apply it to show that the problem is well-posed under suitable assumptions on the exterior data. Moreover, we explore uniqueness of recovery of both magnetic and electric potentials.

We study boundary determination for an inverse problem associated to the time-harmonic Maxwell equations and another associated to the isotropic elasticity system. We identify the electromagnetic parameters and the Lamé moduli for these two systems from the corresponding boundary measurements. In a first step we reconstruct Lipschitz magnetic permeability, electric permittivity and conductivity on the surface from the ideal boundary measurements. Then, we study inverse problems for Maxwell equations and the isotropic elasticity system assuming that the data contains measurement errors. For both systems, we provide explicit formulas to reconstruct the parameters on the boundary as well as its rate of convergence formula.

In the current paper we consider an inverse boundary value problem of electromagnetism in a nonlinear Kerr medium. We show the unique determination of the electromagnetic material parameters and the nonlinear susceptibility parameters of the medium by making electromagnetic measurements on the boundary. We are interested in the case of the time-harmonic Maxwell equations.

For semilinear wave equations on Lorentzian manifolds with quadratic derivative nonlinear terms, we study the inverse problem of determining the background Lorentzian metric. Under some conditions on the nonlinear term, we show that from the source-to-solution map, one can determine the Lorentzian metric up to diffeomorphisms.

This paper surveys inverse problems arising in several coupled-physics imaging modalities for both medical and geophysical purposes. These include Photo-acoustic Tomography (PAT), Thermo-acoustic Tomography (TAT), Electro-Seismic Conversion, Transient Elastrography (TE) and Acousto-Electric Tomography (AET). These inverse problems typically consists of multiple inverse steps, each of which corresponds to one of the wave propagations involved. The review focuses on those steps known as the inverse problems with internal data, in which the complex geometrical optics (CGO) solutions to the underlying equations turn out to be useful in showing the uniqueness and stability in determining the desired information.
