Abstract
In this paper, an iterative boundary element method based on our relaxed algorithm introduced in [8] is used to solve numerically a class of inverse boundary problems. A dynamical choice of the relaxation parameter is presented and a stopping criterion based on our theoretical results is used. The numerical results show that the algorithm produces a reasonably approximate solution and improves the rate of convergence of Kozlov's scheme [10].
