Abstract

We investigate a linearised Calder\'on problem in a two-dimensional bounded simply connected C1,αC^{1,\alpha} domain Ω\Omega. After extending the linearised problem for L2(Ω)L^2(\Omega) perturbations, we orthogonally decompose L2(Ω)=k=0HkL^2(\Omega) = \oplus_{k=0}^\infty \mathcal{H}_k and prove Lipschitz stability on each of the infinite-dimensional Hk\mathcal{H}_k subspaces. In particular, H0\mathcal{H}_0 is the space of square-integrable harmonic perturbations. This appears to be the first Lipschitz stability result for infinite-dimensional spaces of perturbations in the context of the (linearised) Calder\'on problem. Previous optimal estimates with respect to the operator norm of the data map have been of the logarithmic-type in infinite-dimensional settings. The remarkable improvement is enabled by using the Hilbert-Schmidt norm for the Neumann-to-Dirichlet boundary map and its Fr\'echet derivative with respect to the conductivity coefficient. We also derive a direct reconstruction method that inductively yields the orthogonal projections of a general L2(Ω)L^2(\Omega) perturbation onto the Hk\mathcal{H}_k spaces, hence reconstructing any L2(Ω)L^2(\Omega) perturbation.
