Abstract
We propose a regularization method based on the iterative conjugate gradient method for the solution of a Cauchy problem for the wave equation in one dimension. 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.Keywords
