Abstract

We study an inverse problem that consists in estimating the first (zero-order) moment of some R2-valued distribution m that is supported within a closed interval S̄⊂R, from partial knowledge of the solution to the Poisson–Laplace partial differential equation with source term equal to the divergence of m on another interval parallel to and located at some distance from S. Such a question coincides with a 2D version of an inverse magnetic “net” moment recovery question that arises in paleomagnetism, for thin rock samples. We formulate and constructively solve a best approximation problem under constraint in L2 and in Sobolev spaces involving the restriction of the Poisson extension of the divergence of m. Numerical results obtained from the described algorithms for the net moment approximation are also furnished.
