Boundary coefficient determination for an eddy current problem based on the potential field method.

We study a recovery problem for an unknown boundary coefficient relating to one material characteristic in an eddy current field. The field equations are represented in terms of the potential field method (T-ψ<inline-graphic></inline-graphic> method) and can be solved numerically by the nodal finite element method. We introduce a measurement as an additional condition and prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution. Further, we present an iteration algorithm for the recovery problem and validate its efficiency by two numerical experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
