Book excerpt: "In direct problems for mathematical physics, the solution of partial differential equations supplemented with some boundary and initial conditions is to be determined. In many applications some of these conditions are missing, e.g., initial or boundary conditions, coefficients and right-hand sides of the equation may be unknown. Those problems are called inverse problems, and quite frequently, those problems turn out to be ill-posed, requiring some regularization methods for their approximate solution." "In the present monograph, the main classes of inverse problems in mathematical physics and their numerical treatment are considered. Many numerical illustrations and codes for their realization are included. The book is intended for graduate students and scientists interested in applied mathematics, computational mathematics and mathematical modeling."--BOOK JACKET.
