• We study various partial data inverse boundary value problems for the semilinear elliptic equation Δu+a(x,u)=0 in a domain in Rn by using the higher order linearization technique introduced by Lassas–Liimatainen–Lin–Salo and Feizmohammadi–Oksanen. We show that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of the above equation determines the Taylor series of a(x,z) at z=0 under general assumptions on a(x,z). The determination of the Taylor series can be done in parallel with the detection of an unknown cavity inside the domain or an unknown part of the boundary of the domain. The method relies on the solution of the linearized partial data Calderón problem by Ferreira–Kenig–Sjöstrand–Uhlmann, and implies the solution of partial data problems for certain semilinear equations Δu+a(x,u)=0 also proved by Krupchyk–Uhlmann.
