In this paper, an inverse geometric problem for Laplace’s equation arising in boundary corrosion detection is considered. This problem, which consists of determining an unknown corroded portion of the boundary of a bounded domain and its admittance Robin coefficient from two pairs of boundary Cauchy data (boundary temperature and heat flux), is solved numerically using the meshless method of fundamental solutions. A non-linear minimization of the objective function is regularized, and the stability of the numerical results is investigated with respect to noise in the input data and various values of the regularization parameters involved. © 2014 Taylor & Francis.
