Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new numerical scheme for the solution of the Laplace and biharmonic equations subjected to noisy boundary data. The equations are discretized by the method of fundamental solutions. Since the resulting matrix equation is highly ill-conditioned, a regularized solution is obtained using the truncated singular value decomposition, with the regularization parameter given by the L-curve method. Numerical experiments show that the method is stable with respect to the noise in the data, highly accurate and computationally very efficient.
