Abstract: For D a bounded domain in mathbbRd,dge2, with smooth boundary partialD, the non-linear inverse problem of recovering the unknown conductivity gamma determining solutions u=ugamma,f of the partial differential equation �egin{equation*} �egin{split}

abla cdot(gamma abla u)&=0 quad ext{ in }D, \ u&=f quad ext { on } partial D, end{split} end{equation*} from noisy observations Y of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map [f mapsto Lambda_gamma(f) = {gamma frac{partial u_{gamma,f}}{partial

u}}Big|_{partial D},] with partial/partialu denoting the outward normal derivative, is considered. The data Y consists of Lambdagamma corrupted by additive Gaussian noise at noise level varepsilon>0, and a statistical algorithm hatgamma(Y) is constructed which is shown to recover gamma in supremum-norm loss at a statistical convergence rate of the order log(1/varepsilon)delta as varepsilono0. It is further shown that this convergence rate is optimal, up to the precise value of the exponent delta>0, in an information theoretic sense. The estimator hatgamma(Y) has a Bayesian interpretation in terms of the posterior mean of a suitable Gaussian process prior and can be computed by MCMC methods.
