An Improved Implementation of An Iterative Method in Boundary Identification Problems

In this paper, an inverse problem of determining geometric shape of a part of the boundary of a bounded domain is considered. Based on a conjugate gradient method, employing the adjoint equation to obtain the descent direction, an identification scheme is developed. The implementation of the method based on the boundary element method (BEM) is also discussed. This method solves the inverse boundary problem accurately without a priori information about the unknown shape to be estimated.
