Popis: In this work we consider a source reconstruction problem for stationary diffusion–advection–decay equation from boundary data. Making a change of variable, we obtain an equivalent modified Helmholtz source problem. Some continuation solutions in the unitary disk are then presented. We also present a variational formulation based in the reciprocity functional formulation. Test functions are plane waves. Considering characteristic sources with star-shaped support in this variational formulation, we obtain a non-linear system of integral equations that must be solved to reconstruct this class of sources. This non-linear problem is then investigated with truncated Fourier series representation and then solved by collocation method. The system of nonlinear algebraic equations which approximates the solution is solved using the Levenberg–Marquardt method. Synthetic data are produced by the finite-element method. We present some numerical reconstructions for an unidimensional and a bidimensional model.
