We consider the inverse problem that consists in the determination of characteristic sources, in the modified and classical Helmholtz equations, based on external boundary measurements. We identify the location of the barycenter establishing a simple formula for symmetric shapes, which also holds for the determination of a single source point. We use this for the reconstruction of the characteristic source, based on the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS). The MFS is also applied as a solver for the direct problem, using an equivalent formulation as a jump or transmission problem. As a solver for the inverse problem, we may apply minimization using an equivalent reciprocity functional formulation. Numerical experiments with the barycenter and the boundary reconstructions are presented.

A method is proposed to solve an inverse problem in twodimensional linear isotropic elasticity. The inverse problem consists of the determination of both the entire displacement field and the boundary conditions inaccessible to the measurement from the partial knowledge of the displacement field. The algorithm is based on a fading regularization method (FRM) and is numerically implemented using the method of fundamental solutions (MFS). The inverse technique is first validated with synthetic data and is then applied to the interpretation of experimental measurements obtained by digital image correlation (DIC).

AbstractWe propose a new moving pseudo-boundary method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for the determination of the boundary of a three-dimensional void (rigid inclusion or cavity) within a conducting homogeneous host medium from overdetermined Cauchy data on the accessible exterior boundary. The algorithm for imaging the interior of the medium also makes use of radial spherical parametrization of the unknown star-shaped void and its centre in three dimensions. We also include the contraction and dilation factors in selecting the fictitious surfaces where the MFS sources are to be positioned in the set of unknowns in the resulting regularized nonlinear least-squares minimization. The feasibility of this new method is illustrated in several numerical examples.

AbstractThis paper describes an application of the recently developed sparse scheme of the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for the simulation of three-dimensional modified Helmholtz problems. The solution to the given problems is approximated by a two-step strategy which consists of evaluating the particular solution and the homogeneous solution. The homogeneous solution is approximated by the traditional MFS. The original dense system of the MFS formulation is condensed into a sparse system based on the exponential decay of the fundamental solutions. Hence, the homogeneous solution can be efficiently obtained. The method of particular solutions with polyharmonic spline radial basis functions and the localized method of approximate particular solutions in combination with the Gaussian radial basis function are employed to approximate the particular solution. Three numerical examples including a near singular problem are presented to show the simplicity and effectiveness of this approach.

AbstractThis paper concerns the inverse problem of retrieving the principal coefficient in a Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation from boundary measurements of a single solution. The Lipschitz stability of this inverse problem is obtained using a new global Carleman estimate for the linearized KdV equation. The proof is based on the Bukhgeĭm–Klibanov method.
