Dos Santos Ferreira (Paris 13) Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

2 The purpose of this talk is to address the following points To prove a local control of the L p norm of a function by its local Radon transform. Quantitative version of Helgason-Holmgren Thm. (Inspired by: DSF-K-Sj-U, Boman, Hörmander). To appy the above to prove stability for Calderón Inverse problem in two partial data contexts in which uniqueness holds true. (1) Bukhgeim and Uhlmann (Recovering a potential from partial Cauchy data 2002)(semiglobal) (2) Kenig, Sjöstrand and Uhlmann (The Calderón Problem for partial data 2007) Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

3 Description of Partial data: Calderón inverse problem. Let u be the solution of the Dirichlet BVP { (γ u) = 0 u Ω = f H 1 2 ( Ω) γ is a positive function of class C 2 on Ω. The Dirichlet-to-Neumann map: Λ γ f = γ ν u Ω, in Ω (0.1) where ν denotes the exterior normal derivative of u. Partial data: We assume F, G Ω. Data restricted to f s so that supp f B and measurements ν u restricted to F. After standard reduction to Schrödinger equation: ( + q)v = 0. Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

4 Bukhgeim and Uhlmann (light from infinity) Assume q 1, q 2 be two bounded potentials on Ω, suppose that 0 is neither a Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Schrödinger operator + q 1 nor of + q 2. Given a direction ξ S n 1. Consider the ξ-illuminated boundary and the ξ-shadowed boundary Ω (ξ) = {x Ω : ξ ν(x) 0} Ω + (ξ) = {x Ω : ξ ν(x) 0}. F, B two open neighborhoods in Ω, respectively of the sets Ω (ξ) and Ω + (ξ). If the two Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps with Dirichlet data f H 1/2 ( Ω) supported in B coincide on F Λ q1 f (x) = Λ q2 f (x), x F then the two potentials agree q 1 = q 2. Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

5 Kenig, Sjöstrand and Uhlmann, light from a point In this case consider x 0 out of Convex hull of Ω. The x 0 -illuminated boundary and the x 0 -shadowed boundary Ω (x 0 ) = {x Ω : (x x 0 ) ν(x) 0} Ω + (x 0 ) = {x Ω : (x x 0 ) ν(x) 0}. F, B two open neighborhoods in Ω, respectively of the sets Ω (ξ) and Ω + (ξ). If the two Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps with Dirichlet data f H 1/2 ( Ω) supported in B coincide on F Λ q1 f (x) = Λ q2 f (x), x F then the two potentials agree q 1 = q 2.

(0.6) E = { x R n : ω (x y 0 ) = s, s I, ω Γ }. Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

12 Allowable potentials Let p, 1 p <, and λ, 0 < λ < 1/p, two functions q 1, q 2 satisfy the following conditions: (a) 1 E q j X L (R n ) for j = 1, 2, q j L (E) + 1 Eq j X < M. X-norm q L 1 (R n ) and (1 + s ) n R 0 q(s, ) L 1 (S n 1 ) R ds <.

14 Theorem1. Quantitave H-H Theorem Let M 1 be constant. Given y 0 R n, ω 0 S n 1, α > 0 and β (0, 1] Let q i be allowable potentials and assume the support condition holds. Then there exists a positive constant C = C(M, G, α, β), such that q 1 q 2 L p (G) C ( ) λ, log (1 + s ) n R y0 (q 1 q 2 )(s, ) L 1 (Γ) ds 2 I (0.7) where { } G = x R n α : x y 0 <. 8 cosh(8π/β) Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U.

16 Sketch of proof 1: uniqueness theorem Assume R y0 (q 1 q 2 ) I Γ = 0. Then such (y 0, ω 0 ) does not exits: 1 Microlocal Helgason s theorem: (y 0, ω 0 ) / WF a (q 1 q 2 ) 2 Microlocal Holmgren s theorem (Hörmander): From the conditions y 0 supp (q 1 q 2 ) and supp (q 1 q 2 ) {x R n : (x y 0 ) ω 0 0} one has (y 0, ω 0 ) WF a (q 1 q 2 ) Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

17 1.Quantitative Microlocal Helgason s theorem.sketch of proof The WF a (u) is characterized be the exponential decay of the wave packet transform: For any u S (R n ) define the Wave packet (Segal-Bargmann) transform of u for ζ C n as T u(ζ) = u, e 1 2h (ζ )2. Where, stands for the duality between S (R n ) and S(R n ) the class of smooth rapidly decreasing functions. Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

18 Step 1:From Radon to wave packet Proposition Consider q A λ (R n ), y 0 R n and ω 0 S n 1. Let R q be a positive constant such that supp q {x R n : x y 0 R q }. Given α > 0 and β (0, 1] consider the sets I = {s R : s < α}, Γ = {ω S n 1 : ω ω 0 2 > 1 β 2 }. Then, there exists a positive constant C such that T q(ζ) C ( Im ζ n + α n + R n q) e 1 Im h n ζ 2 2h 2 [ ] R y0 q L 1 (I Γ) + q L (R n ) (e 1 α 2 2h 4 + e 1 γ 2 β 2 2h 16 ), for all h (0, 1], ζ C n such that Re ζ y 0 < α/2, Im ζ γ > 0 and ω 0 θ 2 > 1 β 2 /4 with θ = Im ζ 1 Im ζ. Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

19 Step 2 Step 2a (Key step) We tray to remove the condition Im ζ γ > 0. Try to go from the wave packets transform of q to the heat evolution of q (t = h) by allowing Im ζ = 0 Step 2b. Estimate the backward initial value problem for the heat equation. Need a priori Besov regularity on q. Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

20 The key Proposition Proposition Under the same notation and assumptions of the Theorem. There exists a positive constant C such that e 1 2h Im ζ 2 T q(ζ) < CM q (( 2α β )n + α n + R n q) R y0 q κ L 1 (I Γ), (0.9) with κ := 1 ( ( )) 2, h := 4 cosh 8π β α 2 8 log R y0 q L 1 (I Γ), for all ζ C n such that Re ζ y 0 < α 8 cosh ( 8π β ), Im ζ < 2α (4 β 2 ) 1/2. Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

21 Proof of the Key proposition Estimates of the wave packet transform: (K1) T q(ζ) (2πh) n 2 q L (R n ) e 1 2h Im ζ 2, (K2) T q(ζ) (2πh) n 2 q L (R n ) e 1 2h Im ζ 2 e 1 2h ω 0 (Re ζ y 0 ) 2, for all ζ C n such that ω 0 (Re ζ y 0 ) 0 (follows from the hyperplane being supporting ) (K3) T q(ζ) C h n 2 ( Im ζ n + α n + R n q) e 1 Im ζ 2 2h [ R y0 q L 1 (I Γ) + q L (R n ) e 1 2h ] α 2 4, for all h (0, 1], ζ C n such that Re ζ y 0 < α/2, Im ζ γ > 0 and ω 0 θ 2 > 1 β 2 /4 with θ = Im ζ 1 Im ζ.

22 Barrier on a rectangle Lemma Let a, b be positive constants. Consider R = {z C : Re z < a, Im z < b + ε}, for some ε > 0. Let F be a sub-harmonic function in R such that F(z) < (min{0, Re z}) 2, for all z C. Assume that F(z) < 2a 2 for z R such that Im z b. Then ( ) F(z) < 1 2a 2 2 cosh ( 1 π b ) min a cosh ( π b a), 1, 3 for ( ) Im z < b, Re z < a 2 min 1 cosh ( π a), 1 b. 3 Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

23 Proof of lemma Take the subharmonic function for G(x + iy) = 2a 2 cosh ( π a y) ( π ) cosh ( π sin a b) a (x + δ) + F(x + iy) δ 2, ( ) a δ = min cosh ( π b a), a 3 Check that G < 0 on the boundary of [ δ, a δ] [ b, b]. The estimate follows from the maximun principle when we restrict to the values x < δ/2. Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

24 End of proof of Key step α Choose h := 2, to obtain an appropriate negative 8 log R y0 q L 1 (I Γ) exponential in (K3). Let us denote z = ω 0 (ζ y 0 ) C and write ζ = (z + ω 0 y 0 )ω 0 + w with w C n such that Re w ω 0 = Im w ω 0 = 0. Use the Lemma for the function Φ(z) = Re z 2 Im z 2 + 2h log T q((z + ω 0 y 0 )ω 0 + w) ( ) e 1 Im w 2 2h +2h log CM q (ρ n + α n + R n, q) in the rectangle a = α/4, b = 2α/β Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

25 Step 2b.The backward estimate The key point is the fact that the Segal-Bargmann transform restricted to real values is a convolution with the Gaussian. Backward estimate for the heat equation h = time Lemma Consider q L p (R n ) and G an open set in R n such that supp q G. Assume that there exists λ (0, 1) such that L q := ( q q( y) R n y n+λp p L p (R n ) dy ) 1/p < +. Then, there exists a positive constant C, only depending on n, such that ) q L p (G) (h C n 2 T q L p (G) + L qh λ 2, Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

26 First step: from DtoN map to Radon transform The uniqueness Results. Locally vanishing Radon Transform. Stability: Hunk and Wang: Log-log type stability (log stable recovery of the Fourier tranform +log stable continuation of analytic functions) The Carleman estimates with signed partition of the boundary allow to partially recover the 2-planes X-ray transform in some sets I Γ which are neighborhood of (y 0, ω 0 ) from the partial Dirichlet to Neuman map in a logarithmic stable way (following the approach of DSF, Kenig, Sjoestrand and Uhlmann). This allows to control the norm of q 1 q 2 in a neighborhood of y 0. In the case of BU ( semiglobal ) one can estimate q 1 q 2 L p, since we have the control of R y0 (q 1 q 2 ) L 1 ((0, ) Γ). In KSU We have the Radon transform if n = 3. Giving us the control on q 1 q 2 at points for which we control the Radon transform (the penumbra boundary) Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

27 From partial data to Radon transform We reduce to Schrödinger + q equation in the standard way. Use of DSF- K-S-U approach. Existence of Calderón- Fadeev type solutions. Use of the Carleman estimate with splitting in the illuminated and shadowed regions. Theorem ( [BU] and [NS]) Theorem For τ >> 1 sufficiently large and g C (R n 2 ) and (ξ + iζ) 2 = 0, there exists a unique solution w τ H(Ω; ) of the equation ( + q)w τ = 0 in Ω, such that tr 0 w τ H( Ω) E (B) and which can be written as w τ (x) = e τ(ξ+iζ) x (g(x ) + R(τ, x)) where R(τ, ) L 2 (Ω) C 1 τ ( qg L 2 (Ω) + τ 1/2 g L 2 (Ω)). The same is true by changing τ by τ and B by F. Alberto Ruiz ( Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) U. California, Irvine.June / 31

(0.10) Difference of DtoN maps Lemma Let q j, j = 1, 2 be L potentials so that 0 is not a Dirichlet eigenvalue of + q j in Ω. Then Λ q2 Λ q1 extends to a continuous map H( Ω) H( Ω).

31 Looking for the supporting plane H in quantitative Helgason-Holmgren Let us take η M and by translation there exist r R and y 0 supp q such that H(s, η) contains y 0 and it is a supporting hyperplane for supp q. We are now in the hypothesis of the previous theorem, since M is a neighborhood of η in the sphere and we can control the Radon transform por ω M and s R.
