Abstract

In this paper, we consider the modified inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation Δu(x,y) -k2u(x,y) =f(x,y), x, 0 <y< 1, with inhomogeneous Cauchy data being given at y= 0. The problem is known to be ill-posed, as the solution (if exists) does not depend continuously on the given data. We propose a regularization method to obtain a stable approximate solution of the problem and get some error estimates. Finally, a numerical example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
