Abstract

In this paper, a new general scheme, based on the method of fundamental solutions, is presented for inverse source identification problems. This is fulfilled by coupling a linear combination of fundamental solutions and radial basis functions associated with particular solutions. Under this scheme, we can determine harmonic and nonharmonic source terms from partially accessible boundary measurements. Numerical results for several general inverse source identification problems show that the proposed numerical algorithm is simple, accurate, stable and computationally efficient.
