Locally Euclidean Metrics with a Given Geodesic Curvature of the Boundary

Abstract: The problem of reconstructing a locally Euclidean metric on a disk from the geodesic curvature of the boundary given in the sought metric is considered. This problem is an analog and a generalization of the classical problem of finding a closed plane curve from its curvature given as a function of the arc length. The solution of this problem in our approach can be interpreted as finding a plane domain with the standard Euclidean metric whose boundary has a given geodesic curvature.
