Abstract

The notion of polarization tensor is employed for the derivation of the leading-order boundary perturbations in the steady-state voltage potentials that are due to the presence of conductivity inclusions of small diameter. Recently, Capdeboscq and Vogelius obtained optimal bounds of Hashin-Shtrikman type for the trace of the polarization tensor, showing that every pair satisfying these optimal bounds arises as the eigenvalues of a polarization tensor associated with a coated ellipse. In this paper, we give numerical evidence of the fact that the set of possible polarization tensor eigenvalue pairs can also be obtained using simply connected domains. Our numerical computations are based on a boundary integral method.
