How to well pose a magnetization identification problem

This paper presents an original approach for determining the unknown magnetization of a ferromagnetilc shell. Magnetic measurements using sensors close from the device under test are used to rebuild distributions located on the shell. These distributions are representative of the magnetization and tangential moments or charges can be used. This identification problem is A particular case of an inverse problem and is generally ill posed. Instead of using classical mathematical tools to solve such a problem, we preferred to change it in a better posed one by adding our physical knowledge of the problem. All our results have been validated on a mockup with real measurements.
