Abstract

We consider the inverse problem of determining both an unknown diffusion and an unknown absorption coefficient from knowledge of (partial) Cauchy data in an elliptic boundary value problem. For piecewise analytic coefficients, we prove a complete characterization of the reconstructible information. It is shown to consist of a combination of both coefficients together with the jumps in the leading order diffusion coefficient and its derivative.
