Numerical solution of an inverse initial boundary value problem forthe wave equation in the presenceof conductivity imperfections ofsmall volume
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 August 2010
Abstract
We consider the numerical solution, in two- and three-dimensionalbounded domains, of the inverse problem for identifying the locationof small-volume, conductivity imperfections in a medium with homogeneousbackground. A dynamic approach, based on the wave equation, permitsus to treat the important case of “limited-view” data. Our numericalalgorithm is based on the coupling of a finite element solution ofthe wave equation, an exact controllability method and finally a Fourierinversion for localizing the centers of the imperfections. Numericalresults, in 2- and 3-D, show the robustness and accuracy of the approachfor retrieving randomly placed imperfections from both complete andpartial boundary measurements.
