Abstract: The authors consider Maxwell’s equations for an isomagnetic anisotropic and inhomogeneous medium in two dimensions, and discuss an inverse problem of determining the permittivity tensor $\big(\begin{smallmatrix}\varepsilon_1 & \varepsilon_2\\ \varepsilon_2 & \varepsilon_3\end{smallmatrix}\big)$ and the permeability μ in the constitutive relations from a finite number of lateral boundary measurements. Applying a Carleman estimate, the authors prove an estimate of the Lipschitz type for stability, provided that $\varepsilon_1$, $\varepsilon_2$, $\varepsilon_3$, μ satisfy some a priori conditions.
