Linearised Calder\'on problem: Reconstruction of unbounded perturbations in 3D

Abstract

Recently an algorithm was given in [Garde & Hyv\"onen, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 2024] for exact direct reconstruction of any $L^2$ perturbation from linearised data in the two-dimensional linearised Calder\'on problem. It was a simple forward substitution method based on a 2D Zernike basis. We now consider the three-dimensional linearised Calder\'on problem in a ball, and use a 3D Zernike basis to obtain a method for exact direct reconstruction of any $L^3$ perturbation from linearised data. The method is likewise a forward substitution, hence making it very efficient to numerically implement. Moreover, the 3D method only makes use of a relatively small subset of boundary measurements for exact reconstruction, compared to a full $L^2$ basis of current densities.
