Coefficient identification in the Euler–Bernoulli equation using regularization methods

Abstract

In this paper, we will study the inverse problem of identification of flexural rigidity coefficient in the Euler–Bernoulli equation. This inverse problem is ill-posed. To solve it, we will use regularization methods. In particular, we will apply the mollification method and the Landweber iteration method, in particular, to find the regularized solution of the Moore–Penrose generalized inverse to a linear operator and with this, we reconstruct the coefficient. At the end of this paper, will present some examples of interest.
