“…Traditional numerical methods, in conjunction with an appropriately chosen regularization/stabilization method, have been employed to solve inverse problems associated with Helmholtz-type equations, such as the finite-difference method (FDM) [4,5], the finite element method (FEM) [25,26] and the boundary element method (BEM) [39,40], respectively. Both the FDM and the FEM require the discretization of the domain of interest which is time consuming and tedious, especially for complicated geometries.…”
