Abstract: | In this paper,we consider the Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation,which is severely ill-posed in the sense that the solution does not depend continuously on the data.A modified Tikhonov regularization method is proposed to solve this problem.An error estimate for the a priori parameter choice between the exact solution and its regularized approximation is obtained.Moreover,an a posteriori parameter choice rule is proposed and a stable error estimate is also obtained.Numerical examples illustrate the validity and effectiveness of this method. |
