Increased stability for the Schr¨odinger potential from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map

We derive some bounds which can be viewed as an evidence of increasing stability in the problem of recovery of the potential coefficient in the Schrodinger equation from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, when frequency (energy level) is growing. These bounds hold under certain a-priori bounds on the unknown coefficient. Proofs use complex- and real-valued geometrical optics solutions. We outline open problems and possible future developments.
