Abstract

The authors compare a recently proposed generalized eigensystem approach to more widely used truncated singular value decomposition and zero-order Tikhonov regularization for solving multidimensional elliptic inverse problems. As a test case, the authors use a finite element representation of a homogeneous eccentric spheres model of the inverse problem of electrocardiography. Special attention is paid to numerical issues of accuracy, convergence, and robustness
