Modified regularization method for the Cauchy problem of the Helmholtz equation

In this paper, the Cauchy problem for the Helmholtz equation is investigated. It is known that such problem is severely ill-posed. We propose a modified regularization method to solve it based on the solution given by the method of separation of variables. Convergence estimates are presented under two different a-priori bounded assumptions for the exact solution. Finally, numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed numerical method.
