Abstract
This paper deals with the Monotonicity Principle (MP) for nonlinear materials with piecewise growth exponent. The results obtained are relevant because they enable the use of a fast imaging method based on MP, applied to a wide class of problems with two or more materials, at least one of which is nonlinear. The treatment is very general and makes it possible to model a wide range of practical configurations such as superconducting (SC), perfect electrical conducting (PEC) or perfect electrical insulating (PEI) materials. A key role is played by the average Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, introduced in Corbo Esposito et al (2021 Inverse Problems37 045012), where the MP for a single type of nonlinearity was treated. Realistic numerical examples confirm the theoretical findings.
期刊介绍:
An interdisciplinary journal combining mathematical and experimental papers on inverse problems with theoretical, numerical and practical approaches to their solution.
As well as applied mathematicians, physical scientists and engineers, the readership includes those working in geophysics, radar, optics, biology, acoustics, communication theory, signal processing and imaging, among others.
The emphasis is on publishing original contributions to methods of solving mathematical, physical and applied problems. To be publishable in this journal, papers must meet the highest standards of scientific quality, contain significant and original new science and should present substantial advancement in the field. Due to the broad scope of the journal, we require that authors provide sufficient introductory material to appeal to the wide readership and that articles which are not explicitly applied include a discussion of possible applications.
