Popis: We consider well-posedness of the boundary value problem in presence of an inclusion with complex conductivity $k$. We first consider the transmission problem in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and characterize solvability of the problem in terms of the spectrum of the Neumann-Poincar\'e operator. We then deal with the boundary value problem and show that the solution is bounded in its $H^1$-norm uniformly in $k$ as long as $k$ is at some distance from a closed interval in the negative real axis. We then show with an estimate that the solution depends on $k$ in its $H^1$-norm Lipschitz continuously. We finally show that the boundary perturbation formula in presence of a diametrically small inclusion is valid uniformly in $k$ away from the closed interval mentioned before. The results for the single inclusion case are extended to the case when there are multiple inclusions with different complex conductivities: We first obtain a complete characterization of solvability when inclusions consist of two disjoint disks and then prove solvability and uniform estimates when imaginary parts of conductivities have the same signs. The results are obtained using the spectral property of the associated Neumann-Poincar\'e operator and the spectral resolution.
