Abstract

We establish a logarithmic stability estimate for the problem of detecting corrosion by a single electric measurement. We give a proof based on an adaptation of the method initiated in [3] for solving the inverse problem of recovering the surface impedance of an obstacle from the scattering amplitude. The key idea consists in estimating accurately a lower bound of the local $L^2$-norm at the boundary, of the solution of the boundary value problem used in modeling the problem of detection corrosion by an electric measurement.
