Verified numerical computations for an inverse elliptic eigenvalue problem with finite data

Abstract

We consider a numerical enclosure method for solutions of an inverse Dirichlet eigenvalue problem. When the finite number of prescribed eigenvalues are given, we reconstruct a potential function, with guaranteed error bounds, for which the corresponding elliptic operator exactly has those eigenvalues including the ordering property. All computations are executed with numerical verifications based upon the finite and infinite fixed point theorems using interval arithmetic. Therefore, the results obtained are mathematically correct. We present numerical examples which confirm us the enclosure algorithm works on real problems.
