We consider the inverse problem to recover a part $\Gamma_c$ of the boundary of a simply connected planar domain $D$ from a pair of Cauchy data of a harmonic function $u$ in $D$ on the remaining part $\partial D\setminus \Gamma_c$ when $u$ satisfies a homogeneous impedance boundary condition on $\Gamma_c$. Our approach extends a method that has been suggested by Kress and Rundell [17] for recovering the interior boundary curve of a doubly connected planar domain from a pair of Cauchy data on the exterior boundary curve and is based on a system of nonlinear integral equations. As a byproduct, these integral equations can also be used for the problem to extend incomplete Cauchy data and to solve the inverse problem to recover an impedance profile on a known boundary curve. We present the mathematical foundation of the method and illustrate its feasibility by numerical examples.
