AbstractIn this work we discuss the reconstruction of cardiac activation instants based on a viscous Eikonal equation from boundary observations. The problem is formulated as a least squares problem and solved by a projected version of the Levenberg–Marquardt method. Moreover, we analyze the well-posedness of the state equation and derive the gradient of the least squares functional with respect to the activation instants. In the numerical examples we also conduct an experiment in which the location of the activation sites and the activation instants are reconstructed jointly based on an adapted version of the shape gradient method from (J. Math. Biol. 79, 2033–2068, 2019). We are able to reconstruct the activation instants as well as the locations of the activations with high accuracy relative to the noise level.

Abstract. The ensemble Kalman smoother (EnKS) is used as a linear least-squares solver in the Gauss–Newton method for the large nonlinear least-squares system in incremental 4DVAR. The ensemble approach is naturally parallel over the ensemble members and no tangent or adjoint operators are needed. Furthermore, adding a regularization term results in replacing the Gauss–Newton method, which may diverge, by the Levenberg–Marquardt method, which is known to be convergent. The regularization is implemented efficiently as an additional observation in the EnKS. The method is illustrated on the Lorenz 63 model and a two-level quasi-geostrophic model.

AbstractA method for solving problems of the form is presented. The approach of Levenberg and Marquardt is used, except that the linear least squares subproblem arising at each iteration is not solved exactly, but only to within a certain tolerance. The method is most suited to problems in which the Jacobian matrix is sparse. Use is made of the iterative algorithm LSQR of Paige and Saunders for sparse linear least squares.A global convergence result can be proven, and under certain conditions it can be shown that the method converges quadratically when the sum of squares at the optimal point is zero.Numerical test results for problems of varying residual size are given.

Abstract. We propose to use the ensemble Kalman smoother (EnKS) as the linear least squares solver in the Gauss–Newton method for the large nonlinear least squares in incremental 4DVAR. The ensemble approach is naturally parallel over the ensemble members and no tangent or adjoint operators are needed. Further, adding a regularization term results in replacing the Gauss–Newton method, which may diverge, by the Levenberg–Marquardt method, which is known to be convergent. The regularization is implemented efficiently as an additional observation in the EnKS. The method is illustrated on the Lorenz 63 and the two-level quasi-geostrophic model problems.

PurposeThis paper attempts to develop an efficient algorithm to solve the inverse problem of identifying constitutive parameters in VFG (viscoelastic functionally graded) materials/structures.Design/methodology/approachAn adaptive recursive algorithm with high fidelity is developed to acquire the derivatives of displacements with respect to constitutive parameters, which are required for the accurate and stable gradient based inverse analysis. A two-step strategy is presented in the process of identification, by which the unknown parameters can be separately identified and the scale and complexity of the inverse VFG problem are reduced. At each step, the process of identification is treated as an optimization problem that is solved by the Levenberg–Marquardt method.FindingsThe solution accuracy of forward problems and derivatives of displacements can be stably achieved with different step sizes, and constitutive parameters of homogenous/regional-inhomogeneous VFG materials/structures can be effectively and accurately identified. By examining the reliability, resolution, impacts of reference information and noisy data, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is numerically verified via three numerical examples.Originality/valueAn adaptive recursive algorithm is developed for derivatives computing with high fidelity, providing a solid platform for the sensitivity analysis and thereby a two-step strategy in conjunction with Levenberg–Marquardt method is presented in the process of identification. Consequently, an effective algorithm is developed to identify constitutive parameters of homogenous/regional-inhomogeneous VFG materials/structures.

AbstractThe convergence of Levenberg–Marquardt method is discussed for the inverse problem to reconstruct the storage modulus and loss modulus for the so-called scalar model by a single interior measurement. The scalar model is the most simplest model for data analysis used as the modeling partial differential equation in the diagnosing modality called the magnetic resonance elastography which is used to diagnose for instance lever cancer. The convergence of the method is proved by showing that the measurement map which maps the above unknown moduli to the measured data satisfies the so-called the tangential cone condition. The argument of the proof is quite general and in principle can be applied to any similar inverse problem to reconstruct the unknown coefficients of the model equation given as a partial differential equation of divergence form by one single interior measurement. The performance of the method is numerically tested for the two-layered piecewise homogeneous scalar models in a rectangular domain and a circular domain.
