The Cauchy problem of the Laplace equation is investigated for both exact and perturbed data on a doubly connected domain, i.e., the numerical reconstruction of the function value and the normal derivative value on a part of the boundary from the knowledge of exact or noisy Cauchy data on the remaining and accessible boundary, which is completely different from the Cauchy problem on a simply connected bounded region. We first establish the existence of a solution through the potential theory. By expressing the solution as a sum of single-layer potentials using boundary value condition, we get the integral equation systems about the density function on the boundary, and by applying local regularization scheme to the obtained integral equation systems, we get the regularization solution of the original problem. Some numerical results are presented to validate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
