On a nonlinear integral equation approach for the surface reconstruction in semi-infinite-layered domains

We study an inverse problem of object reconstruction in a layered semi-infinite domain, which arises in the mathematical modelling of electrostatic imaging methods. The reconstruction algorithm is based on a system of nonlinear integral equations of the first kind derived with the aid of a Green's function technique. The feasibility of the method is illustrated by numerical examples.
