The method of fundamental solutions (MFS) is a relatively new method for the numerical solution of boundary value problems and initial/boundary value problems governed by certain partial differential equations. The ease with which it can be implemented and its effectiveness have made it a very popular tool for the solution of a large variety of problems arising in science and engineering. In recent years, it has been used extensively for a particular class of such problems, namely inverse problems. In this study, in view of the growing interest in this area, we review the applications of the MFS to inverse and related problems, over the last decade. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.
