Abstract

We consider an electrically conducting medium with conductivity inhomogeneities in the form of sheets of thickness 2E. In this setup we provide a rigorous derivation of the leading terms in the asymptotic expansion of the steady state boundary voltage potentials, as E→0. In the two-dimensional case our derivation confirms the results, heuristically obtained in [E. Beretta et al., Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 52 (2001) 543-572].
