A Herglotz wavefunction method for solving the inverse Cauchy problem connected with the Helmholtz equation

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem connected with the Helmholtz equation. On the basis of the denseness of Herglotz wavefunctions, we propose a numerical method for obtaining an approximate solution to the problem. We analyze the convergence and stability with a suitable choice of regularization method. Numerical experiments are also presented to show the effectiveness of our method.
