Stable determination of polygonal inclusions in Calderón’s problem by a single partial boundary measurement

Abstract

Abstract We are concerned with the Calderón problem of determining the unknown conductivity of a body from the associated boundary measurement. We establish a logarithmic type stability estimate in terms of the Hausdorff distance in determining the support of a convex polygonal inclusion by a single partial boundary measurement. We also derive the uniqueness result in a more general scenario where the conductivities are piecewise constants supported in a nested polygonal geometry. Our methods in establishing the stability and uniqueness results have a significant technical initiative and a strong potential to apply to other inverse boundary value problems.
