Abstract: We consider the problem of estimating spatially varying coefficients of partial differential equations from observation of the solution and of the right-hand side of the equation. We assume that the observations are distributed in the domain and that enough observations are given. A method of discretization and an efficient multigrid method for solving the resulting discrete systems are described. Numerical results are presented for estimation of coefficients in an elliptic and a parabolic partial differential equation.
