Large $|k|$ behavior of complex geometric optics solutions to d-bar problems

Abstract

Complex geometric optics solutions to a system of d-bar equations appearing in the context of electrical impedance tomography and the scattering theory of the integrable Davey-Stewartson II equations are studied for large values of the spectral parameter $k$. For potentials \( q\in \langle \cdot \rangle^{-2} H^{s}(\mathbb{C}) \) for some $s\in ]1,2]$, it is shown that the solution converges as the geometric series in $1/|k{|}^{s-1}$. For potentials $q$ being the characteristic function of a strictly convex open set with smooth boundary, this still holds with $s=3/2$ i.e., with $1/\sqrt{|k|}$ instead of $1/|k{|}^{s-1}$. The leading order controbutions are computed explicitly. Numerical simulations show the applicability of the asymptotic formulae for the example of the characteristic function of the disk.
