Cracks with impedance, stable determination from boundary data
arXiv:1207.5996
Abstract
We discuss the inverse problem of determining the possible presence of an (n-1)-dimensional crack Σin an n-dimensional body Ωwith n > 2 when the so-called Dirichlet-to-Neumann map is given on the boundary of Ω. In combination with quantitative unique continuation techniques, an optimal single-logarithm stability estimate is proven by using the singular solutions method. Our arguments also apply when the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map or the local versions of the D-N and the N-D map are available.
