Reconstruction of domains with algebraic boundaries from generalized polarization tensors

Abstract

This paper aims at showing the stability of the recovery of a smooth planar domain with a real algebraic boundary from a finite number of its generalized polarization tensors. It is a follow-up of the work [H. Ammari et al., Math. Annalen, 2018], where it is proved that the minimal polynomial with real coefficients vanishing on the boundary can be identified as the generator of a one dimensional kernel of a matrix whose entries are obtained from a finite number of generalized polarization tensors. The recovery procedure is implemented without any assumption on the regularity of the domain to be reconstructed and its performance and limitations are illustrated.
