Abstract

This paper is concerned with an inverse obstacle problem for the Laplace's equation. The aim is to recover the constant conductivity coefficient in the equation and the boundary of a Dirichlet polygonal obstacle from a single pair of Cauchy data. Uniqueness results are established under some a priori assumptions on the input boundary value data. A domain-defined sampling method, based on the factorization method originating from inverse acoustic scattering, has been proposed to recover both the constant conductivity coefficient and the polygonal obstacle. A hybrid strategy, which combines the sampling method and iterative scheme, is employed {\color{hgh}to reconstruct} the location and shape of the obstacle. Numerical examples indicate that our method is efficient.
