Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose an alternative approach combining the advantages of the Kohn–Vogelius formulation and the topological sensitivity analysis method for solving geometric inverse problems. The Kohn–Vogelius formulation can rephrase the geometric inverse problem into a shape optimization one minimizing an energy-like function. The sensitivity analysis gives the leading term of the energy-like function variation with respect to the presence of a small geometry perturbation inside the computational domain. The obtained theoretical results lead to build a fast and accurate numerical reconstruction algorithm. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm are illustrated by some numerical results.
