Abstract
This paper considers estimation of Robin parameter by using measurements on partial boundary and solving
a Robin inverse problem associated with the Laplace equation. Typically, such problems are solved utilizing
a Gauss-Newton method in which the forward model constraints are implicitly incorporated. Variants
of Newton’s method which use second derivative information are rarely employed because their perceived
disadvantage in computational cost per step offsets their potential benefits of fast convergence. In this paper,
we show that by formulating the inversion as a constrained or unconstrained optimization problem, we can
carry out the sequential quadratic programming and the full Newton iteration with only a modest additional
cost. Our numerical results illustrate that Newton’s method can produce a solution in fewer iterations and,
in some cases where the data contain significant noise, requires fewer floating point operations than Gauss-
Newton methods.
