Uniqueness for the electrostatic inverse boundary value problem with piecewise constant anisotropic conductivities

Abstract

We discuss the inverse problem of determining the, possibly anisotropic, conductivity of a body ΩRn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n} when the so-called Neumann-to-Dirichlet map is locally given on a non empty curved portion Σ\Sigma of the boundary Ω\partial\Omega. We prove that anisotropic conductivities that are \textit{a-priori} known to be piecewise constant matrices on a given partition of Ω\Omega with curved interfaces can be uniquely determined in the interior from the knowledge of the local Neumann-to-Dirichlet map.
