Convergence rates for Tikhonov regularization of a two-coefficient identification problem in an elliptic boundary value problem (Q663263)

The inverse problem of an elliptic equation with Neumann boundary condition is considered, which is known to be one of the nonlinear ill-posed problems. Specifically, the authors identify two spatially varying coefficients in the equation using the so-called convex energy functionals and Tikhonov regularization. They provide the convergence rate of the regularized solutions under the weak source condition, which does not require \textit{smallness} on the source function. Moreover, they also prove that some source conditions are simply the requirement (or constraint) of the coefficients to be in certain smooth function spaces.
