Abstract
We consider an inverse problem for electrically conductive material occupyi ng a domain Omega in R-2. Let gamma be the conductivity of Omega, and D a s ubdomain of Omega. We assume that gamma is a positive constant k on D, k no t equal 1 and is 1 on Omega \ D; both D and k are unknown. The problem is t o find a reconstruction formula of D from the Cauchy data on partial deriva tive Omega of a non-constant solution u of the equation del . gamma del u = 0 in Omega. We prove that if D is known to be a convex polygon such that d iam D < dist (D, partial derivative Omega), there are two formulae for calc ulating the support function of D from the Cauchy data.
