Abstract
We investigate the continuity of boundary operators, such as the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map, with respect to the coefficient matrices of the underlying elliptic equations. We show that for nonsmooth coefficients the correct notion of convergence is the one provided by H-convergence (or G-convergence for symmetric matrices). We prove existence results for minimum problems associated to variational methods used to solve the so-called inverse conductivity problem, at least if we allow the conductivities to be anisotropic. In the case of isotropic conductivities we show that on certain occasions existence of a minimizer may fail.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
