We consider the inverse conductivity problem in the infinite slab which is
important from a practical point of view. We give formulae for extracting i
nformation about the location of an inclusion in the infinite slab from inf
initely many pairs of the voltage potentials on the whole boundary and the
corresponding electric current densities on a bounded part of the boundary.
In order to establish the formulae we make use of a special version of Yarm
ukhamedov's Green function which is a generalization of Faddeev's Green fun
ction. Using the function, we give an explicit sequence of harmonic functio
ns with finite energy that approximates the exponentially growing solution
of the Laplace equation in a bounded part of the infinite slab and zero in
an unbounded part of the infinite slab. This gives a new role for Yarmukham
edov's Green function.
