Given a resistive electrical network, we would like to determine whether all the resistances (edges) in the network are working, and if not, identify which edge (or edges) are faulty. To make this determination, we are allowed to measure…
The response matrix of a resistor network is the linear map from the potential at the boundary vertices to the net current at the boundary vertices. For circular planar resistor networks, Curtis, Ingerman, and Morrow have given a necessary…

A positive function (conductivity) on the edges of a graph induces the Dirichlet-to- Neumann map between boundary values of harmonic functions. The inverse conductivity problem is to find the conductivity from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map.…
