A Meshless Regularization Method for a Two-Dimensional Two-Phase Linear Inverse Stefan Problem

In this paper, a meshless regularization method of fundamental solutions is proposed for a two-dimensional, two-phase linear inverse Stefan problem. The numerical implementation and analysis are challenging since one needs to handle composite materials in higher dimensions. Furthermore, the inverse Stefan problem is ill-posed since small errors in the input data cause large errors in the desired output solution. Therefore, regularization is necessary in order to obtain a stable solution. Numerical results for several benchmark test examples are presented and discussed.
