Lipschitz stability of an inverse conductivity problem with two Cauchy data pairs

Abstract

In 1996 Seo proved that two appropriate pairs of current and voltage data measured on the surface of a planar homogeneous object are sufficient to determine a conductive polygonal inclusion with known deviating conductivity. Here we show that the corresponding linearized forward map is injective, and from this we deduce Lipschitz stability of the solution of the original nonlinear inverse problem. We also treat the case of an insulating polygonal inclusion, in which case a single pair of Cauchy data is already sufficient for the same purpose.
