Polarization and Moment Tensors: With Applications to Inverse Problems and Effective Medium Theory

Front Cover
Springer Science & Business Media, Jun 16, 2007 - Mathematics - 314 pages

This book presents important recent developments in mathematical and computational methods used in impedance imaging and the theory of composite materials. By augmenting the theory with interesting practical examples and numerical illustrations, the exposition brings simplicity to the advanced material. An introductory chapter covers the necessary basics. An extensive bibliography and open problems at the end of each chapter enhance the text.

Page 1 - ... 1. Introduction Impedance imaging uses measurements of boundary voltage potentials and associated boundary currents to infer information about the internal conductivity profile of an object. Complete information about all voltages and currents is known to uniquely characterize an isotropic internal conductivity profile [8, 27, 33, 34].
