A piecewise constant level set method for elliptic inverse problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We apply a piecewise constant level set method to elliptic inverse problems. The discontinuity of the coefficients is represented implicitly by a piecewise constant level set function, which allows to use one level set function to represent multiple phases. The inverse problem is solved using a variational penalization method with the total variation regularization of the coefficients. An operator splitting scheme is used to get efficient and robust numerical schemes for solving the obtained problem. Numerical experiments show that the method can recover coefficients with rather complicated geometry of discontinuities under a moderate amount of noise in the observation data. © 2006 IMACS.

Piecewise Constant Level Set Method for In- terface Problems
We apply the Piecewise Constant Level Set Method (PCLSM) to interface problems, especially for elliptic inverse and multiphase motion problems. PCLSM allows using one level set function to represent multiple phases, and the interfaces are represented implicitly by the discontinuity of a piecewise constant level set function. The inverse problem is solved using a variational penalization method ...
متن کاملOn a Level-Set Method for Ill-Posed Problems with Piecewise Nonconstant Coefficients
We investigate a level-set-type method for solving ill-posed problems, with the assumption that the solutions are piecewise, but not necessarily constant functions with unknown level sets and unknown level values. In order to get stable approximate solutions of the inverse problem, we propose a Tikhonov-type regularization approach coupled with a level-set framework. We prove the existence of g...
متن کاملAn Explicit Update Scheme for Inverse Parameter and Interface Estimation of Piecewise Constant Coefficients in Linear Elliptic PDEs
We introduce a general and efficient method to recover piecewise constant coefficients occurring in elliptic partial differential equations as well as the interface where these coefficients have jump discontinuities. For this purpose, we use an output least squares approach with level set and augmented Lagrangian methods. Our formulation incorporates the inherent nature of the piecewise constan...

We propose a level set approach for elliptic inverse problems with piecewise constant coefficients. The geometry of the discontinuity of the coefficient is represented implicitly by level set functions. The inverse problem is solved using a variational augmented Lagrangian formulation with total variation regularization of the coefficient. The corresponding Euler Lagrange equation gives the evo...

In this paper the piecewise level set method is combined with phase field method to solve the shape and topology optimization problem. First, the optimization problem is formed based on piecewise constant level set method then is updated using the energy term of phase field equations. The resulting diffusion equation which updates the level set function and optimization ...
