Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation, which is severely ill-posed in the sense that the solution does not depend continuously on the data. A modified Tikhonov regularization method is proposed to solve this problem. An error estimate for the a priori parameter choice between the exact solution and its regularized approximation is obtained. Moreover, an a posteriori parameter choice rule is proposed and a stable error estimate is also obtained. Numerical examples illustrate the validity and effectiveness of this method.
