Dinh, Nho Hào; Nguyen, Van Duc; Lesnic, D. A non-local boundary value problem method for the Cauchy problem for elliptic equations. (English) Zbl 1170.35555 Inverse Probl. 25, No. 5, Article ID 055002, 27 p. (2009). Let \(H\) be a Hilbert space with norm \(\|\cdot\|\), \(A:D(A)\subset H\to H\) a positive definite, self-adjoint operator with compact inverse on \(H\), and \(T\) and \(\varepsilon\) given positive numbers. The ill-posed Cauchy problem for elliptic equations\[ u_{tt}= Au, \quad 0< t< T, \qquad \|u(0)-\varphi\|\leq\varepsilon, \qquad u_t(0)=0, \]is regularized by the well-posed non-local boundary value problem\[ u_{tt}= Au, \quad 0< t< aT, \qquad \|u(0)+\alpha u(aT)=\varphi, \qquad u_t(0)=0, \]with \(a\geq1\) being given and \(\alpha>0\) the regularization parameter. A priori and a posteriori parameter choice rules are suggested which yield order-optimal regularization methods. Numerical results based on the boundary element method are presented and discussed.
