Abstract
Ill-posed Cauchy problems for elliptic partial differential equations appear in many engineering fields. In this paper, we focus on stable reconstruction methods for this kind of inverse problems. Using kernels that reproduce Hilbert spaces $H^m$(Ω), numerical approximations to solutions of elliptic Cauchy problems are formulated as solutions of nonlinear least-squares problems with quadratic inequality constraints (LSQI). A convergence analysis with respect to noise levels and fill distances of data points is provided, from which a Tikhonov regularization strategy is obtained. A nonlinear algorithm using generalized singular value decomposition of matrices and Lagrange multipliers is proposed to solve the LSQI problem. Numerical experiments of two-dimensional cases verify our proved convergence results. By comparing with solutions of MFS and FEM under the discrete Tikhonov regularization by RKHS under same Cauchy data, we demonstrate that our method can reconstruct stable and high accuracy solutions for noisy Cauchy data.
