ABSTRACT
In this paper, we shall derive and propose an efficient algorithm for simultaneously reconstructing the Robin coefficient and heat flux in an elliptic system from part of the boundary measurements. The uniqueness of the simultaneous identification is demonstrated. The ill-posed inverse problem is formulated into an output least-squares nonlinear and non-convex minimization with Tikhonov regularization, while the regularizing effects of the regularized system are justified. The Levenberg–Marquardt method is applied to change the non-convex minimization into convex minimization, which will be solved by surrogate functional method so as to get the explicit expression of the minimizer. Numerical experiments are provided to show the accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm.
