contents We study the inverse problem of reconstructing the shape of unknown inclusions in semilinear elliptic equations with nonanalytic nonlinearities, by extending Ikehata's enclosure method to accommodate such nonlinear effects. To address the analytical challenges, we construct an approximate solution based on the linearized equation, enabling the enclosure method to operate in this setting. The proposed method applies to a broad class of semilinear elliptic equations with non-analytic nonlinearities, including representative examples such as the Kerr-type nonlinearity, which appears in models of nonlinear optics, and the Ginzburg-Landau-type nonlinearity, which models light propagation in nonlinear dissipative media.
