Abstract
The objective of this work is to reconstruct, for the first time, numerically the time‐dependent potential coefficient in a fourth‐order pseudo‐hyperbolic equation with initial and boundary conditions from additional measurement as an overdetermination condition. This inverse identification problem is an ill‐posed problem but has a unique solution. For the numerical realization, we apply the Quintic B‐spline (QB‐spline) collocation method to discretize the direct problem and the Tikhonov regularization to find a stable and accurate solution. The resulting nonlinear minimization problem is approximated using the MATLAB optimization toolbox routine l s q n o n l i n . The obtained numerical results are the evidence of the stable and accurate solutions. The von Neumann stability analysis is also carried out.
