Abstract:We consider several inverse problems for elliptic equations whose coefficients are random, without imposing a special probabilistic structure on the randomness. The main body treats the Schrödinger equation. We compare what can be recovered from the full law of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, from its expectation, from finitely many joint moments of its boundary bilinear form, and from the averaged interior Green's operator. We obtain both positive and negative results. That the full law of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map determines the law of the random potential is almost trivial. However, the expected Dirichlet-to-Neumann map and, more generally, any fixed finite hierarchy of its boundary moments need not determine even the mean potential. In contrast, the averaged Schrödinger Green's operator determines the pointwise mean and variance of the potential. In a two-atom model it determines all pointwise moments of the two-point law. The appendices contain the corresponding results for the conductivity equation.
