An inverse anisotropic conductivity problem induced by twisting a homogeneous cylindrical domain
Résumé
We consider the inverse problem of determining the unknown function $\alpha: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ from the DN map associated to the operator $\mbox{div}(A(x',\alpha (x_3))\nabla \cdot)$ acting in the infinite straight cylindrical waveguide $\Omega =\omega \times \mathbb{R}$, where $\omega$ is a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^2$. Here $A=(A_{ij}(x))$, $x=(x',x_3) \in \Omega$, is a matrix-valued metric on $\Omega$ obtained by straightening a twisted waveguide. This inverse anisotropic conductivity problem remains generally open, unless the unknown function $\alpha$ is assumed to be constant. In this case we prove Lipschitz stability in the determination of $\alpha$ from the corresponding DN map. The same result remains valid upon substituting a suitable approximation of the DN map, provided the function $\alpha$ is sufficiently close to some {\it a priori} fixed constant.
