Abstract

Abstract The probe and singular sources methods are two well-known classical direct reconstruction methods in inverse obstacle problems governed by partial differential equations. In this paper, by considering an inverse obstacle problem governed by the Laplace equation in a bounded domain as a prototype case, an integrated theory of the probe and singular sources methods is proposed. The theory consists of three parts: (i) introducing the singular sources method combined with the notion of the probe method; (ii) finding a third indicator function whose two ways decomposition yields the indicator functions in the probe and singular sources methods; (iii) finding the completely integrated version of the probe and singular sources methods.
