Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel approach based on the high-order matrix derivative of the Bernstein basis and collocation method and its employment to solve an interesting and ill-posed model in the heat conduction problems, homogeneous backward heat conduction problem (BHCP).
Design/methodology/approach
By using the properties of the Bernstein polynomials the problems are reduced to an ill-conditioned linear system of equations. To overcome the unstability of the standard methods for solving the system of equations an efficient technique based on the Tikhonov regularization technique with GCV function method is used for solving the ill-condition system.
Findings
The presented numerical results through table and figures demonstrate the validity and applicability and accuracy of the technique.
Originality/value
A novel method based on the high-order matrix derivative of the Bernstein basis and collocation method is developed and well-used to obtain the numerical solutions of an interesting and ill-posed model in heat conduction problems, homogeneous BHCP with high accuracy.

Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of magnetization identification. We consider a ferromagnetic body placed in an inductor field. The goal of this work is, from static magnetic field measurements taken around the device, to obtain an accurate model of its magnetization. This inverse problem is usually illāposed and its solution is nonāunique. It is then necessary to use mathematical regularization. However, we prefer to transform it to a better posed one by incorporating our physical knowledge of the problem. Our approach is tested on the magnetization's identification of a real ferromagnetic sheet.

Abstract
The parameters identification problem of a sum u(t)=ā\limitsNi=1aie(Ī»i,t), \ tā [0,T], where Nā IN, aiā ā and Ī»iā Ī© are unknown parameters, and Ī© is a bounded open set of ān is discussed. For some choices of the function e, this problem is an illāposed problem in the classical optimisation methods sense, such as the nonālinear least squares. The identification of parameters N, ai and Ī»i being equivalent to the search of the distribution ā=ā\limitsNi=1aiĪ“Ī»i in the dual space of E=C(ĀÆOmega;), the method developed here consists in finding a weak approximation of ā in the sense of the metric of the weakā* topology on closed spheres of Eā. Finally, we will apply this method to the identification problem of a sum of exponentials.

Abstract
In this paper, various regularization methods are numerically implemented using the boundary element method (BEM) in order to solve the Cauchy steadyāstate heat conduction problem in an anisotropic medium. The convergence and the stability of the numerical methods are investigated and compared. The numerical results obtained confirm that stable numerical results can be obtained by various regularization methods, but if high accuracy is required for the temperature, or if the heat flux is also required, then care must be taken when choosing the regularization method since the numerical results are substantially improved by choosing the appropriate method.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of the study is to solve numerically the inverse problem of determining the time-dependent convection coefficient and the free boundary, along with the temperature in the two-dimensional convection-diffusion equation with initial and boundary conditions supplemented by non-local integral observations. From the literature, there is already known that this inverse problem has a unique solution. However, the problem is still ill-posed by being unstable to noise in the input data.
Design/methodology
For the numerical discretization, this paper applies the alternating direction explicit finite-difference method along with the Tikhonov regularization to find a stable and accurate numerical solution. The resulting nonlinear minimization problem is solved computationally using the MATLAB routine lsqnonlin. Both exact and numerically simulated noisy input data are inverted.
Findings
The numerical results demonstrate that accurate and stable solutions are obtained.
Originality/value
The inverse problem presented in this paper was already showed to be locally uniquely solvable, but no numerical solution has been realized so far; hence, the main originality of this work is to attempt this task.

Abstract
Purpose
The inverse problem of identifying the time-dependent potential coefficient along with the temperature in the fourth-order BoussinesqāLove equation (BLE) with initial and boundary conditions supplemented by mass measurement is, for the first time, numerically investigated. From the literature, the authors already know that this inverse problem has a unique solution. However, the problem is still ill-posed by being unstable to noise in the input data.
Design/methodology/approach
For the numerical discretization, the authors apply the CrankāNicolson finite difference method along with the Tikhonov regularization for finding a stable and accurate approximate solution. The resulting nonlinear minimization problem is solved using the MATLAB routine lsqnonlin. Both exact and numerically simulated noisy input data are inverted.
Findings
The present computational results demonstrate that obtained solutions are stable and accurate.
Originality/value
The inverse problem presented in this paper was already showed to be locally uniquely solvable, but no numerical identification has been studied yet. Therefore, the main aim of the present work is to undertake the numerical realization. The von Neumann stability analysis is also discussed.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate an inverse problem approach for the determination of stress zones in steel plates of electrical machines. Steel plates of electrical machines suffer large mechanical stress by processes like cutting or punching during the fabrication. The mechanical stress has effects on the electrical properties of the steel, and thus on the losses of the machine.
Design/methodology/approach
In this paper, the authors present a sensor arrangement and an appropriate algorithm for determining the spatial permeability distribution in steel plates. The forward problem for stress zone imaging is explained and an appropriate numerical solution technique is proposed. Then an inverse problem formulation is introduced and the nature of the problem is analyzed.
Findings
Based on sensitivity analysis, different measurement procedures are compared and a measurement setup is suggested. Further the illāposed nature of the inverse problem is analyzed by the Picard condition.
Practical implications
Because of the increased losses due to stress zones, the quantification of stress effects is of interest to adjust the production process. Stress zone imaging is a first approach for the application of an imaging system to quantify these material defects.
Originality/value
This paper presents a simulation study about the applicability of an inverse problem for stress zone imaging and presents first reconstruction results. Further, the paper discusses several issues about stress zone imaging for the ongoing research.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to provide an insight and to solve numerically the identification of an unknown coefficient of radiation/absorption/perfusion appearing in the heat equation from additional temperature measurements.
Design/methodology/approach
First, the uniqueness of solution of the inverse coefficient problem is briefly discussed in a particular case. However, the problem is still ill-posed as small errors in the input data cause large errors in the output solution. For numerical discretization, the finite difference method combined with a regularized nonlinear minimization is performed using the MATLAB toolbox routine lsqnonlin.
Findings
Numerical results presented for three examples show the efficiency of the computational method and the accuracy and stability of the numerical solution even in the presence of noise in the input data.
Research limitations/implications
The mathematical formulation is restricted to identify coefficients which separate additively in unknown components dependent individually on time and space, and this may be considered as a research limitation. However, there is no research implication to overcome this, as the known input data are also limited to single measurements of temperature at a particular time and space location.
Practical implications
As noisy data are inverted, the study models real situations in which practical measurements are inherently contaminated with noise.
Social implications
The identification of the additive time- and space-dependent perfusion coefficient will be of great interest to the bio-heat transfer community and applications.
Originality/value
The current investigation advances previous studies which assumed that the coefficient multiplying the lower-order temperature term depends on time or space separately. The knowledge of this physical property coefficient is very important in biomedical engineering for understanding the heat transfer in biological tissues. The originality lies in the insight gained by performing for the first time numerical simulations of inversion to find the coefficient additively dependent on time and space in the heat equation from noisy measurements.

Abstract
Purpose
The paper aims to numerically solve the inverse problem of determining the time-dependent potential coefficient along with the temperature in a higher-order Boussinesq-Love equation (BLE) with initial and Neumann boundary conditions supplemented by boundary data, for the first time.
Design/methodology/approach
From the literature, the authors already know that this inverse problem has a unique solution. However, the problem is still ill-posed by being unstable to noise in the input data. For the numerical realization, the authors apply the generalized finite difference method (GFDM) for solving the BLE along with the Tikhonov regularization to find stable and accurate numerical solutions. The regularized nonlinear minimization is performed using the MATLAB subroutine lsqnonlin. The stability analysis of solution of the BLE is proved using the von Neumann method.
Findings
The present numerical results demonstrate that obtained solutions are stable and accurate.
Practical implications
Since noisy data are inverted, the study models real situations in which practical measurements are inherently contaminated with noise.
Originality/value
The knowledge of this physical property coefficient is very important in various areas of human activity such as seismology, mineral exploration, biology, medicine, quality control of industrial products, etc. The originality lies in the insight gained by performing the numerical simulations of inversion to find the potential co-efficient on time in the BLE from noisy measurement.
