In this paper, the iterative algorithm proposed by Kozlov et al. [Comput. Maths. Math. Phys. 31 (1991) 45] for obtaining approximate solutions to the ill-posed Cauchy problem for the Helmholtz equation is analysed. The technique is then numerically implemented using the boundary element method (BEM). The numerical results confirm that the iterative BEM produces a convergent and stable numerical solution with respect to increasing the number of boundary elements and decreasing the amount of noise added into the input data. An efficient stopping regularising criterion is also proposed.

SUMMARYIn this paper, several boundary element regularization methods, such as iterative, conjugate gradient, Tikhonov regularization and singular value decomposition methods, for solving the Cauchy problem associated to the Helmholtz equation are developed and compared. Regularizing stopping criteria are developed and the convergence, as well as the stability, of the numerical methods proposed are analysed. The Cauchy problem for the Helmholtz equation can be regularized by various methods, such as the general regularization methods presented in this paper, but more accurate results are obtained by classical methods, such as the singular value decomposition and the Tikhonov regularization methods.
