On the inverse problem of identifying Lamé coefficients in linear elasticity

An output least-squares type functional is employed to identify the Lame parameters in linear elasticity. To be able to identify even the discontinuous Lame parameters the regularization is performed by the BV-seminorm. Finite element discretization is used and convergence analysis is given. Numerical examples are given to show the feasibility of the approach.
