Reconstruction of small and extended regions in EIT with a Robin transmission condition

Abstract

Abstract We consider an inverse shape problem coming from electrical impedance tomography with a Robin transmission condition. In general, a boundary condition of Robin type models corrosion. In this paper, we study two methods for recovering an interior corroded region from electrostatic data. We consider the case where we have small volume and extended regions. For the case where the region has small volume, we will derive an asymptotic expansion of the current gap operator and prove that a MUSIC-type algorithm can be used to recover the region. In the case where one has an extended region, we will show that the regularized factorization method can be used to recover said region. Numerical examples will be presented for both cases in two dimensions in the unit circle.
