Abstract

In this paper, the application of the method of fundamental solutions to the Cauchy problem associated with two-dimensional Helmholtz-type equations is investigated. The resulting system of linear algebraic equations is ill-conditioned and therefore its solution is regularized by employing the first-order Tikhonov functional, while the choice of the regularization parameter is based on the L-curve method. Numerical results are presented for both smooth and piecewise smooth geometries. The convergence and the stability of the method with respect to increasing the number of source points and the distance between the source points and the boundary of the solution domain, and decreasing the amount of noise added into the input data, respectively, are analysed.
