The original problem for Maxwell’s equations with an unknown permittivity and a given permeability is reduced to the system of integro-differential equations. The solution to the inverse problem is obtained in two steps. First, a solution to the vector integro-differential equation of the first kind is obtained from the given near-field data. The uniqueness of the solution to the integro-differential equation of the first kind is proved in the classes of piecewise constant functions. Second, the sought-for permittivity is straightforwardly calculated from the found solution and the total electric field. A series of test problems was solved using the two-step method. Procedures of approximate solutions’ refining were implemented. Comparison between the given permittivities and the found approximate solutions shows efficiency of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":50171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46856106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A minimizer of the α ∥ ⋅ ∥ ℓ 1 − β ∥ ⋅ ∥ ℓ 2 alphalVert,{cdot},rVert_{ell_{1}}-betalVert,{cdot},rVert_{ell_{2}} regularized function can be computed by applying the ST-( α ℓ 1 − β ℓ 2 alphaell_{1}-betaell_{2} ) algorithm which is similar to the classical iterative soft thresholding algorithm (ISTA). Unfortunately, It is known that ISTA converges quite slowly, and a faster alternative to ISTA is the projected gradient (PG) method. Nevertheless, the current applicability of the PG method is limited to linear inverse problems. In this paper, we extend the PG method based on a surrogate function approach to nonlinear inverse problems with the α ∥ ⋅ ∥ ℓ 1 − β ∥ ⋅ ∥ ℓ 2 alphalVert,{cdot},rVert_{ell_{1}}-betalVert,{cdot},rVert_{ell_{2}} ( α ≥ β ≥ 0 alphageqbetageq 0 ) regularization in the finite-dimensional space R n mathbb{R}^{n} .
