Let Ω be a domain in R n whose boundary is C 1 if n ≥3 or C 1,β if n =2. We consider a magnetic Schrödinger operator L W , q in Ω and show how to recover the boundary values of the tangential component of the vector potential W from the Dirichlet to Neumann map for L W , q . We also consider a steady state heat equation with convection term Δ+2 W ·∇ and recover the boundary values of the convection term W from the Dirichlet to Neumann map. Our method is constructive and gives a stability result at the boundary.
