Finite element methods for parameter identification problem of linear and nonlinear steady-state diffusion equations

We study a parameter identification problem for the steady state diffusion equations. In this thesis, we transform this identification problem into a minimization problem by considering an appropriate cost functional and propose a finite element method for the identification of the param...
