An inverse problem for a nonlinear biharmonic operator

An inverse problem for a nonlinear biharmonic operator is under consideration in the spirit of Isakov (1993) and Johansson-Nurminen-Salo (2023). We prove that a general nonlinear term of the $Q=Q(x,u,\mathrm{\nabla }u,\mathrm{\Delta }u)$ associated to a nonlinear biharmonic operator can be recovered from the local Cauchy data set. The proof uses first order linearization method, Runge approximation, and uniqueness results for the linearized inverse problem.
