The goal of this paper is to investigate the steady-state voltage potential (or the temperature) associated with a small imperfection inside an otherwise uniform conductor. More precisely, in a 2D domain \(\Omega\), the authors consider the potential \(u\) harmonic in \(\Omega \setminus \sigma\), \(\sigma\) a curve in \(\Omega\), which satisfies on \(\sigma\) the transmission condition \[ \lambda (u^+-u^-)= \frac {\partial u}{\partial\nu} \quad \text{or} \quad -\mu \left( \frac {\partial u^+}{\partial\nu} - \frac {\partial u^-}{\partial\nu} \right)= \frac {\partial^2 u}{\partial\tau^2} \] and on \(\partial \Omega\) the usual Neumann condition. By the additional knowledge of \(u|_{\partial\Omega}\), the authors state some results of uniqueness of \(\sigma\), in case \(\sigma\) is a graph. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1027.00018].
