A regularized weighted least gradient problem for conductivity imaging


Abstract in English

We propose and study a regularization method for recovering an approximate electrical conductivity solely from the magnitude of one interior current density field. Without some minimal knowledge of the boundary voltage potential, the problem has been recently shown to have nonunique solutions, thus recovering the exact conductivity is impossible. The method is based on solving a weighted least gradient problem in the subspace of functions of bounded variations with square integrable traces. The computational effectiveness of this method is demonstrated in numerical experiments.
