Abstract: We consider the inverse problem of determining the unknown function alpha:mathbbRightarrowmathbbR from the DN map associated to the operator mboxdiv(A(x′,alpha(x3))ablacdot) acting in the infinite straight cylindrical waveguide Omega=omegaimesmathbbR, where omega is a bounded domain of mathbbR2. Here A=(Aij(x)), x=(x′,x3)inOmega, is a matrix-valued metric on Omega obtained by straightening a twisted waveguide. This inverse anisotropic conductivity problem remains generally open, unless the unknown function alpha is assumed to be constant. In this case we prove Lipschitz stability in the determination of alpha from the corresponding DN map. The same result remains valid upon substituting a suitable approximation of the DN map, provided the function alpha is sufficiently close to some {it a priori} fixed constant.


Let \(\omega\) be a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^2\), \(\Omega = \omega \times \mathbb{R}\). Denote by \(A = (A_{ij}(x)), x = (x',x_3) \in \Omega\) a matrix-valued metric on \(\Omega\). The authors consider the inverse problem of determining the unknown function \(\alpha: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DN) map associated with the operator \(\text{div} (A(x',\alpha(x_3))\nabla \cdot)\) acting in \(\Omega\). They prove stability in determining the function \(\alpha\) from some suitable approximation of the DN map provided \(\alpha\) is sufficiently close to some arbitrary fixed constant. In the case of constant unknown functions, the authors prove Lipschitz stability in the determination of \(\alpha\) from the knowledge of the DN map.
