Fourier Moment Method with Regularization for the Cauchy Problem of Helmholtz Equation

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the reconstruction of the wave field in a bounded domain. By choosing a special family of functions, the Cauchy problem can be transformed into a Fourier moment problem. This problem is ill-posed. We propose a regularization method for obtaining an approximate solution to the wave field on the unspecified boundary. We also give the convergence analysis and error estimate of the numerical algorithm. Finally, we present some numerical examples to show the effectiveness of this method.
