Romanov Approximate global convergence and quasi-reversibility for a coefficient inverse problem with backscattering data (804K, pdf) ABSTRACT. A numerical method with the approximate global convergence property is developed for a 3-D Coefficient Inverse Problem for a hyperbolic PDE with the backscattering data. An important part of this technique is the quasi-reversibility method. Approximate global convergence theorem is proven. Results of two numerical experiments are presented.
