The Factorization Method in Inverse Problems
The Factorization method is a relatively new method to characterize
the support of the shape of a “defect” for a number of
inverse problems. In this talk we explain the method for the
problem to determine a crack or an inclusion for an elastostatic
problem from the knowledge of the tractions and displacements on
the surface of the body.
