Abstract

Let ΩRn\Omega \subset R^n, n3n \geq 3, be a fixed smooth bounded domain, and let γ\gamma be a smooth conductivity in Ω\overline{\Omega}. Consider a non-zero frequency λ0\lambda_0 which does not belong to the Dirichlet spectrum of Lγ=div(γ)L_\gamma = -{\rm div} (\gamma \nabla \cdot). Then, for all k1k \geq 1, there exists an infinite number of pairs of non-isometric CkC^k conductivities (γ1,γ2)(\gamma_1, \gamma_2) on Ω\overline{\Omega}, which are close to γ\gamma such that the associated DN maps at frequency λ0\lambda_0 satisfy \begin{equation*} \Lambda_{\gamma_1,\lambda_0} = \Lambda_{\gamma_2,\lambda_0}. \end{equation*}
