At last, an explicit singular value decomposition for electrical impedance tomography
We derive a diagonalization of the normal operator of the linearized electrical impedance tomography (EIT) problem on the disk in the case of a radially symmetric Schrödinger potential with Dirichlet-to-Neumann data. The diagonalization is achieved by transforming the normal operator to the adjacent interval finite Hilbert transform which has a known spectral theory including a commuting differential operator. The normal operator in this case is not compact and the spectrum continuous.
