Abstract
We consider the problem of numerically approximating the solutions to a partial differential equation (PDE) when there is insufficient information to determine a unique solution. Our main example is the Poisson boundary value problem, when the boundary data is unknown and instead one observes finitely many linear measurements of the solution. We view this setting as an optimal recovery problem and develop theory and numerical algorithms for its solution. The main vehicle employed is the derivation and approximation of the Riesz representers of these functionals with respect to relevant Hilbert spaces of harmonic functions.
