Abstract


 
We derive exact reconstruction methods for cracks consisting of unions of Lipschitz hypersurfaces in the context of Electrical Impedance Tomography. Our first method obtains upper bounds for the unknown cracks, bounds that can be shrunk to obtain the exact crack locations upon verifying certain operator inequalities for differences of the local Neumann-to-Dirichlet maps. This method can simultaneously handle perfectly insulating and perfectly conducting cracks, and it appears to be the first rigorous reconstruction method capable of this. Our second method assumes that only perfectly insulating cracks or only perfectly conducting cracks are present. Once more using operator inequalities, this method generates approximate cracks that are guaranteed to be subsets of the unknown cracks that are being reconstructed.
