Abstract: We consider the field concentration for the transmission problems of the homogeneous and inhomogeneous conductivity equations in the presence of closely located circular inclusions. We revisit these well-studied problems by exploiting the spectral nature residing behind the phenomenon of the field concentration. The spectral approach enables us not only to recover the existing results with new insights but also to produce significant new results. We show that when relative conductivities of inclusions have different signs, then the gradient of the solution is bounded regardless of the distance between inclusions, but the second and higher derivatives may blow up as the distance tends to zero if one of conductivities is $0$ and the other $infty$. This result holds for both homogenous and inhomogeneous problems. We prove these results by precise quantitative estimates of the derivatives of the solution. We also show by examples that the estimates are optimal.
