Global uniqueness for a non-overdetermined inverse conductivity problem in unbounded domains

چکیده
In this paper we show that sufficiently smooth coefficients of the elliptic operator ∇x · σ(x)∇x − c(x′), x ∈ R, x′ ∈ R can be uniquely determined from the Cauchy data given on a strip in the plane {x3 = 0}. This is an extension of Tikhonov’s formulation of the one-dimensional inverse problem of electric prospecting to two dimensions. In this formulation, the number of variables in the Cauchy data equals the number of variables in unknown coefficients. This is referred to the concept of nonoverdeterminacy. Unlike the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map defined on the entire boundary of a bounded domain, the position of a pointlike electrode injecting electric currents into a domain is assumed to be fixed, and such a domain is assumed to be unbounded. The method of Carleman estimates combined with both the direct Fourier and inverse Laplace transforms is adopted to establish the global uniqueness theorem. Also, we establish the global uniqueness result for a corresponding inverse source problem arising in gravimetry prospecting.

On uniqueness in the inverse conductivity problem with local data
The inverse condictivity problem with many boundary measurements consists of recovery of conductivity coefficient a (principal part) of an elliptic equation in a domain Ω ⊂ R, n = 2, 3 from the Neumann data given for all Dirichlet data (Dirichlet-to-Neumann map). Calderon [5] proposed the idea of using complex exponential solutions to demonstrate uniqueness in the linearized inverse condictivit...
متن کاملUniqueness of the solution to inverse scattering problem with non-overdetermined data
Let q(x) be a real-valued compactly supported sufficiently smooth function. It is proved that the scattering data A(−β, β, k) ∀β ∈ S, ∀k > 0, determine q uniquely. Under the same assumptions on q(x) it is proved that the scattering data A(β, α0, k) ∀β ∈ S, ∀k > 0, and a fixed α0, the direction of the incident plane wave, determine q uniquely. The above scattering data are non-overdetermined in ...

Modeling of flow and transport processes in variably saturated porous media requires detailed knowledge of the soil hydraulic properties. The hydraulic properties to be determined by the inverse problem solution are the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity K(h) and the water retention curve θ(h). The inverse modeling approach assumes that both θ(h) and K(h) as well as transport parame...
متن کاملInverse Problems for Nonsmooth First Order Perturbations of the Laplacian
We consider inverse boundary value problems in Rn, n ≥ 3, for operators which may be written as first order perturbations of the Laplacian. The purpose is to obtain global uniqueness theorems for such problems when the coefficients are nonsmooth. We use complex geometrical optics solutions of Sylvester-Uhlmann type to achieve this. A main tool is an extension of the Nakamura-Uhlmann intertwinin...
متن کاملUniqueness in inverse elastic scattering from unbounded rigid surfaces of rectangular type
Consider the two-dimensional inverse elastic scattering problem of recovering a piecewise linear rigid rough or periodic surface of rectangular type for which the neighboring line segments are always perpendicular. We prove the global uniqueness with at most two incident elastic plane waves by using near-field data. If the Lamé constants satisfy a certain condition, then the data of a single pl...
