Abstract
We use boundary elements, with least squares optimization, to solve iden- tification problems in electrostatics and steady state heat conduction in conductive plates with simple shapes, e.g. the circular wedge. The plate has a hole in it, with a flux across the hole boundary. Voltage or heat is applied to part of the plate edge; the remainder of the plate edge is grounded or insulated. For the inverse problem, an additional voltage or heat measurement is taken on an insulated part of the plate edge; from this extra measurement we (1) determine the structure of the hole, given the flux across its boundary, or (2) given the hole, determine the flux across its boundary.
