A regularization method for a Cauchy problem of Laplace's equation in an annular domain

In this paper. we propose a new regularization method based on a finite-dimensional subspace generated from fundamental solutions for solving a Cauchy problem of Laplace's equation in an annular domain. Based on a conditional stability for the Cauchy problem of Laplace's equation, we obtain a convergence estimate under the suitable choice of a regularization parameter and an a-priori bound assumption on the solution. A numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method from both accuracy and stability. (C) 2012 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
