This linear but ill-posed Cauchy problem consists of finding the displacement and flux on a hostile and inaccessible part of the medium boundary from Cauchy data measurements of the same quantities on the remaining friendly and accessible part of the boundary. This inverse boundary value problem is recast as a least-squares minimization problem that is solved by using the conjugate gradient method whose iterations are stopped according to the discrepancy principle for obtaining stable reconstructions. The objective functional associated is proved Fréchet differentiable and a formula for its gradient is derived. The well-posed direct, adjoint and sensitivity problems present in the conjugate gradient method are solved by using a finite-difference method. Two numerical examples to illustrate the accuracy and stability of the proposed numerical procedure are thoroughly presented and discussed.","PeriodicalId":54926,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering","volume":"49 1","pages":"2757 - 2771"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17415977.2021.1949590","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59997975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are functions of the size and material contrast of inclusions, thereby describing the saturation component of the non-linearity. In this paper, we show how such an asymptotic series can be applied to non-linear least-squares reconstruction problems, by deriving an approximate diagonal Hessian matrix for the data misfit term. Often, the Hessian matrix can play a vital role in dealing with the non-linearity, generating good update directions which accelerate the solution towards a global minimum, but the computational cost can make direct calculation infeasible. Since the polarization tensor approximation assumes sufficient separation between inclusions, our approximate Hessian does not account for non-linearity in the form of lack of superposition in the inverse problem. It does, however, account for the non-linear saturation of the change in the data with increasing material contrast. We, therefore, propose to use it as an initial Hessian for quasi-Newton schemes. We present numerical experimentation into the accuracy and reconstruction performance of the approximate Hessian for the case of electrical impedance tomography, providing a proof of principle of the reconstruction scheme.","PeriodicalId":54926,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering","volume":"18 1","pages":"2804 - 2830"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76842049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its imaging performances depend not only on the design of the detection system but also on choices related to tomographic reconstruction. The aim of this work is to show that the accuracy in modelling the acquisition largely influences the quality of the images. For this purpose, we restrict here to Doppler broadening models in conjunction with the list-mode maximum likelihood expectation maximization (LM-MLEM) algorithm. The study was carried out with Monte-Carlo simulation. We show that the reconstructed point spread function is location-dependent when the model is not accurate, and the usual elongation artefacts well-known in Compton camera imaging will appear. The model we propose allows us to reconstruct isolated point sources and more complex non-uniform sources with improved resolution even in the direction orthogonal to the camera.","PeriodicalId":54926,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"3509 - 3529"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48370480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present numerical results illustrating an application of the heat polynomials method for several benchmark examples. We study the effects of accuracy and measurement error for different degree of heat polynomials. Due to ill-conditioning of the matrix generated by HPM, optimization techniques are used to obtain regularized solution. Therefore, the sensitivity of the method to the data disturbance is discussed. Theoretical properties of the proposed method, as well as numerical experiments, demonstrate that to reach accurate results it is quite sufficient to consider only a few of the polynomials.

To perform the task of estimating the desired parameters, inverse problem formulations are required, which entail to performing some extra measurements of certain accessible and relevant quantities. In this paper, justified also by uniqueness of solution conditions, this extra information is represented by either local or non-local boundary temperature measurements. Also, the development of numerical methods for the study of coefficient identification thermal problems is an important topic of research. In addition, in order to decrease the computational burden, meshless methods are becoming popular. In this article, we combine, for the first time, the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) with a particle filter sequential importance resampling (SIR) algorithm for estimating the time-dependent heat transfer coefficient in inverse heat conduction problems. Two different types of measurements are used. Numerical results indicate that the combination of MFS and SIR shows high performance on several test cases, which include both linear and nonlinear Robin boundary conditions, in comparison with other available methods.","PeriodicalId":54926,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"3322 - 3341"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45236723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reliable parameter uncertainty identification for robot arms becomes important. The current methods for uncertainty analysis have double-layered processes, in which the inner layer is for uncertainty propagation and the outer layer is an iterative optimization process. Such a nested double-layered approach limits computational efficiency. This work proposes a novel inverse method for parameter uncertainty identification using a two-way neural network. First, an element (FE) model of a robot arm is established and validated experimentally. Sensitivity analysis is then conducted using the FE model to determine a set of major parameters to be identified. A two-way neural network is next established, and the explicit formulae of direct weight inversion (DWI) use to inverse these parameters of the robot arm. Finally, the inverse result is validated by experiments. Our study show that the present inverse method can greatly improve the computational efficiency. It provides a new avenue to tackle complex inverse problems in engineering and sciences.","PeriodicalId":54926,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"3279 - 3304"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42756368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
