The determination of radially dependent conductivity coefficient

Abstract

In this paper we discuss the question of identifying the radially dependent coefficient a(r) in the elliptic equation div(a(r) ▽u)=0 in the unit disk by Dirichlet and Neumann data.We establish a condition to guarantee the uniqueness of this determination. One of the applications of this study is the determination of the radially dependent conductivity coefficient of layered medium.
