A Genetic Algorithm for Pointwise Source Reconstruction by the Method of Fundamental Solutions

ABSTRACT Inverse source reconstruction problems offer great potential for applications of interest to engineering, such as the identification of polluting sources, and to medicine, such as electroencephalography, to cite at least two relevant examples. From a mathematical point of view, the identification of a concentrated source (intensity and location) corresponds to the identification of the centroid (location) and size (intensity) of a distributed source. On the other hand, from a numerical point of view, it is observed that the use of domain discretization methods is intrinsically associa...
