Abstract

For a compact Riemannian surface (M,g)(M,g) with non-empty boundary Γ\Gamma, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator (DtN-map) Λg:C(Γ)C(Γ)\Lambda_g:C^\infty(\Gamma)\to C^\infty(\Gamma) is defined by Λgf=uνΓ\Lambda_gf=\left.\frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}\right|_\Gamma, where ν\nu is the unit outer normal vector to the boundary and uu is the solution to the Dirichlet problem Δgu=0, uΓ=f\Delta_gu=0,\ u|_\Gamma=f. The Calder\'{o}n problem consists of recovering a Riemannian surface from its DtN-map. It is well known that (M,g)(M,g) is determined by Λg\Lambda_g uniquely up to a conformal equivalence. We suggest a method for numerical solution of the Calder\'{o}n problem. The method works well at least for Riemannian surfaces (M,g)(M,g) close to (D,e)({D},e), where D={(x,y)x2+y21}{D}=\{(x,y)\mid x^2+y^2\le1\} is the unit disk and e=dx2+dy2e=dx^2+dy^2 is the Euclidean metric. Our numerical examples confirm the statement: the DtN-map is very sensitive to small deviations of the shape of a domain.
