A Globally Convergent Numerical Method for Some Coefficient Inverse Problems with Resulting Second Order Elliptic Equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new globally convergent numerical method is developed for some multidimensional Coefficient Inverse Problems for hyperbolic and parabolic PDEs with applications in acoustics, electromagnetics and optical medical imaging. On each iterative step the Dirichlet boundary value problem for a second order elliptic equation is solved. The global convergence is rigorously proven and numerical experiments are presented.

NON-STANDARD FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF SECOND ORDER LINEAR FREDHOLM INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
In this article we have considered a non-standard finite difference method for the solution of second order Fredholm integro differential equation type initial value problems. The non-standard finite difference method and the composite trapezoidal quadrature method is used to transform the Fredholm integro-differential equation into a system of equations. We have also developed a numerical met...
متن کاملGlobally Convergent Numerical Methods for Coefficient Inverse Prob- lems for Imaging Inhomogeneities
How can we differentiate between an underground stone and a land mine? We discuss a class of methods for solving such problems. This class of methods concerns globally convergent numerical methods for Coefficient Inverse Problems, unlike conventional locally convergent algorithms. Numerical results are presented modeling imaging of the spatially distributed dielectric permittivity function in a...
متن کاملThe Gel’fand-Levitan-Krein method and the globally convergent method for experimental data
Comparison of numerical performances of two methods for coefficient inverse problems is described. The first one is the classical Gel’fand-Levitan-Krein equation method, and the second one is the recently developed approximately globally convergent numerical method. This comparison is performed for both computationally simulated and experimental data. 2010 AMS subject classification: 35R25, 35R30
متن کاملOn the finite element method for elliptic problems with degenerate and singular coefficients
We consider Dirichlet boundary value problems for second order elliptic equations over polygonal domains. The coefficients of the equations under consideration degenerate at an inner point of the domain, or behave singularly in the neighborhood of that point. This behavior may cause singularities in the solution. The solvability of the problems is proved in weighted Sobolev spaces, and their ap...
متن کاملA numerical method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations based on Sinc-Galerkin method
In this paper, we consider two dimensional nonlinear elliptic equations of the form $ -{rm div}(a(u,nabla u)) = f $. Then, in order to solve these equations on rectangular domains, we propose a numerical method based on Sinc-Galerkin method. Finally, the presented method is tested on some examples. Numerical results show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method.
