Summary: Determining the shape of a perfectly conducting inclusion within a conducting medium from voltage and current measurements on the accessible boundary of the medium can be modelled as an inverse boundary value problem for harmonic functions. We present a novel solution method for such inverse boundary value problems via a pair of nonlinear and ill-posed integral equations for the unknown boundary that can be solved by linearization, i.e., by regularized Newton iterations. We present a mathematical foundation of the method and illustrate its feasibility by numerical examples.
