Description

We discuss the inverse boundary value problem of determining the conductivity in two dimensions from the pair of all input Dirichlet data supported on an open subset Γ+ and all the corresponding Neumann data measured on an open subset Γ−. We prove the global uniqueness under some additional geometric condition, in the case where Γ + ∩ Γ--bar = ∅, and we prove also the uniqueness for a similar inverse problem for the stationary Schrödinger equation. The key of the proof is the construction of appropriate complex geometrical optics solutions using Carleman estimates with a singular weight
