## Increasing stability for the Schrödinger potential from the Dirichlet-to Neumann map

 1 Wichita State University, 1845 Fairmount, Wichita, KS, 67260-0033

Received  April 2009 Revised  September 2009 Published  November 2010

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 Schrödinger 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.
