Abstract:
In this article, we study a Cauchy problem for an elliptic
equation with variable coefficients. It is well-known that such a
problem is severely ill-posed; i.e., the solution does not depend
continuously on the Cauchy data. We propose a modified quasi-boundary
value regularization method to solve it. Convergence estimates are
established under two a priori assumptions on the exact solution.
A numerical example is given to illustrate our proposed method.
