Abstract

In this paper, we present the analytical and numerical study of the Lagrangian optimization approach for determining the space-dependent source function in the parabolic inverse source problem (ISP) using partial boundary measurements. The Lagrangian approach for the solution of the optimization problem is presented, and optimality conditions are derived. The proof of the Fréchet differentiability of the regularized Tikhonov functional and the existence result for the solution of the inverse source problem are established. A remarkable local Lipschitz stability estimate for the unknown source term in terms of partial boundary measurement using the variational approach is obtained. The numerical examples justify the theoretical investigations using the conjugate gradient method (CGM) in 2D and 3D tests with noisy data.
