Abstract

In this work, we develop and analyse an adaptive finite element method for efficiently solving electrical impedance tomography—a severely ill-posed nonlinear inverse problem of recovering the conductivity from boundary voltage measurements. The reconstruction technique is based on Tikhonov regularization with a Sobolev smoothness penalty and discretizing the forward model using continuous piecewise linear finite elements. We derive an adaptive finite element algorithm with an a posteriori error estimator involving the concerned state and adjoint variables and the recovered conductivity. The convergence of the algorithm is established, in the sense that the sequence of discrete solutions contains a convergent subsequence to a solution of the optimality system for the continuous formulation. Numerical results are presented to verify the convergence and efficiency of the algorithm.
