The horizontally diagonalize and fit (HDF) method is proposed to solve the ill-posed Cauchy problem for the three-dimensional Poisson equation with data given on the part of the boundary (a continuation problem). The HDF method consists in discretization over horizontal variables and transformation of the system of differential equations to a diagonal form. This allows to uncouple the original three-dimensional continuation problem into a moderate number of one-dimensional problems in the vertical dimension. The problem size reduction can be carried taking into account the noise level, so that the number k of one-dimensional problems appears to be a regularization parameter. Our experiments show that HDF is applicable to large-scale problems and for n ≤ 2500 is significantly more efficient than Landweber iteration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigate the mathematical modeling of the 2D acoustic waves propagation, based on the conservation laws. The hyperbolic first-order system of partial differential equations is considered and solved by the method of S. K. Godunov. The inverse problem of reconstructing the density and the speed of sound of the medium is considered. We apply the gradient method to reconstruct the parameters of the medium. The gradient of the functional is obtained. Numerical results are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
