We consider the problem of localizing an inaccessible piece $I$ of the boundary of a conducting medium $\Omega$, and a cavity $D$ contained in $\Omega$, from boundary measurements on the accessible part $A$ of $\partial \Omega$. Assuming that $g(t,\sigma )$ is the given thermal flux for $\left(t,\sigma \right)\in (0,T)\times A$, and that the corresponding output datum is the temperature $u(T_0,\sigma )$ measured at a given time $T_0$ for $\sigma \in A_{\mathrm{out}}\subset A$, we prove that $I$ and $D$ are uniquely localized from knowledge of all possible pairs of input-output data $(g,u{\left(T_0\right)}_{\mid A_{\mathrm{out}}})$. The same result holds when a mean value of the temperature...

We consider the problem of localizing an inaccessible piece I of the boundary of a conducting medium Ω, and a cavity D contained in Ω, from boundary measurements on the accessible part A of ∂Ω. Assuming that g(t,σ) is the given thermal flux for (t,σ) ∈ (0,T) x A, and that the corresponding output datum is the temperature u(T0,σ) measured at a given time T0 for σ ∈ Aout ⊂ A, we prove that I and D are uniquely localized from knowledge of all possible pairs of input-output data $(g,u{\left(T_0\right)}_{\mid A_{\mathrm{out}}})$.
