Coefficient field inversion in an elliptic partial differential equation

We consider the estimation of a coefficient in an elliptic partial differential equation as a model problem. Depending on the interpretation of the unknowns and the type of measurements, this model problem arises, for instance, in inversion for groundwater flow or heat conductivity. It can also be interpreted as finding a membrane with a certain spatially varying stiffness. Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\in{1,2,3}$ be an open, bounded domain and consider the following problem:

$\min_{m} J(m):=\frac{1}{2}\int_\Omega (u-u_d)^2\, dx + \frac{\gamma}{2}\int_\Omega|\nabla m|^2\,dx,$

where $u$ is the solution of

$\begin{split} \quad -\nabla\cdot(\exp(m)\nabla u) &= f \text{ in }\Omega,\\ u &= 0 \text{ on }\partial\Omega. \end{split}$

Here $m\in U_{ad}:={m\in H^1(\Omega) \bigcap L^{\infty}(\Omega)}$ the unknown coefficient field, $u_d$ denotes (possibly noisy) data, $f\in H^{-1}(\Omega)$ a given force, and $\gamma\ge 0$ the regularization parameter.

The variational (or weak) form of the state equation:

Find $u\in H_0^1(\Omega)$ such that

$(\exp(m)\nabla u,\nabla v) - (f,v) = 0, \text{ for all } v\in H_0^1(\Omega),$

where $H_0^1(\Omega)$ is the space of functions vanishing on $\partial\Omega$ with square integrable derivatives. Here, $(\cdot\,,\cdot)$ denotes the $L^2$-inner product, i.e, for scalar functions $u,v \in L^2(\Omega)$ we denote

$(u,v) := \int_\Omega u(x) v(x) \,dx.$

Gradient evaluation:

The Lagrangian functional $\mathscr{L}:H_0^1(\Omega)\times H^1(\Omega)\times H_0^1(\Omega)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is given by

$\mathscr{L}(u,m,p):= \frac{1}{2}(u-u_d,u-u_d) + \frac{\gamma}{2}(\nabla m, \nabla m) + (\exp(m)\nabla u,\nabla p) - (f,p).$

Then the gradient of the cost functional $\mathcal{J}(m)$ with respect to the parameter $m$ is

$\mathcal{G}(m)(\tilde m) := \gamma(\nabla m, \nabla \tilde{m}) + (\tilde{m}\exp(m)\nabla u, \nabla p) \quad \forall \tilde{m} \in H^1(\Omega),$

where $u \in H_0^1(\Omega)$ is the solution of the forward problem,

$\mathscr{L}_p(u,m,p)(\tilde{p}) := (\exp(m)\nabla u, \nabla \tilde{p}) - (f,\tilde{p}) = 0 \quad \forall \tilde{p} \in H_0^1(\Omega),$

and $p \in H_0^1(\Omega)$ is the solution of the adjoint problem,

$\mathscr{L}_u(u,m,p)(\tilde{u}) := (\exp(m)\nabla p, \nabla \tilde{u}) + (u-u_d,\tilde{u}) = 0 \quad \forall \tilde{u} \in H_0^1(\Omega).$

Hessian action:

To evaluate the action $\mathcal{H}(m)(\hat{m})$ of the Hessian is a given direction $\hat{m}$ , we consider variations of the meta-Lagrangian functional

$\begin{aligned} \mathscr{L}^H(u,m,p; \hat{u}, \hat{m}, \hat{p}) := & {} & {} \\ {} & \gamma(\nabla m, \nabla \tilde{m}) + (\tilde{m}\exp(m)\nabla u, \nabla p) & \text{gradient}\\ {} & + (\exp(m)\nabla u, \nabla \hat{p}) - (f,\hat{p}) & \text{forward eq}\\ {} & + (\exp(m)\nabla p, \nabla \hat{u}) + (u-u_d,\hat{u}) & \text{adjoint eq}. \end{aligned}$

Then action of the Hessian is a given direction $\hat{m}$ is

$\begin{aligned} (\tilde{m}, \mathcal{H}(m)(\hat{m}) ) & := \mathscr{L}^H_m(u,m,p; \hat{u}, \hat{m}, \hat{p})(\tilde{m}) \\ {} & = (\tilde{m} \exp(m) \nabla \hat{u}, \nabla{p}) + \gamma (\nabla \hat{m}, \nabla \tilde{m}) + (\tilde{m} \hat{m} \exp(m)\nabla u, \nabla p) + (\tilde{m}\exp(m) \nabla u, \nabla \hat{p}) \quad \forall \tilde{m} \in H^1(\Omega), \end{aligned}$

where

$u\in H^1_0(\Omega)$ and $p \in H^1_0(\Omega)$ are the solution of the forward and adjoint problem, respectively;
$\hat{u} \in H^1_0(\Omega)$ is the solution of the incremental forward problem,

$\mathscr{L}^H_p(u,m,p; \hat{u}, \hat{m}, \hat{p})(\tilde{p}) := (\exp(m) \nabla \hat{u}, \nabla \tilde{p}) + (\hat{m} \exp(m) \nabla u, \nabla \tilde p) = 0 \quad \forall \tilde{p} \in H_0^1(\Omega);$

and $\hat{p} \in H^1_0(\Omega)$ is the solution of the incremental adjoint problem, $\mathscr{L}^H_u(u,m,p; \hat{u}, \hat{m}, \hat{p})(\tilde{u}) := (\hat{u}, \tilde{u}) + (\hat{m} \exp(m)\nabla p, \nabla \tilde{u}) + (\exp(m) \nabla \tilde u, \nabla \hat{p}) = 0 \quad \forall \tilde{u} \in H_0^1(\Omega).$

Inexact Newton-CG:

Written in abstract form, the Newton Method computes an update direction $\hat{m}_k$ by solving the linear system

$(\tilde{m}, \mathcal{H}(m_k)(\hat{m}_k) ) = -\mathcal{G}(m_k)(\tilde m) \quad \forall \tilde{m} \in H^1(\Omega),$

where the evaluation of the gradient $\mathcal{G}(m_k)$ involve the solution $u_k$ and $p_k$ of the forward and adjoint problem (respectively) for $m = m_k$. Similarly, the Hessian action $\mathcal{H}(m_k)(\hat{m}_k)$ requires to additional solve the incremental forward and adjoint problems.

Discrete Newton system:

$ \def\tu{\tilde u} \def\tm{\tilde m} \def\tp{\tilde p} \def\hu{\hat u} \def\hp{\hat p} \def\hm{\hat m} \def\bu{ {\bf u} } \def\bm{ {\bf m} } \def\bp{ {\bf p} } \def\btu{ {\bf \tilde u} } \def\btm{ {\bf \tilde m} } \def\btp{ {\bf \tilde p} } \def\bhu{ {\bf \hat u} } \def\bhm{ {\bf \hat m} } \def\bhp{ {\bf \hat p} } \def\bg{ {\bf g} } \def\bA{ {\bf A} } \def\bC{ {\bf C} } \def\bH{ {\bf H} } \def\bR{ {\bf R} } \def\bW{ {\bf W} } $

Let us denote the vectors corresponding to the discretization of the functions $u_k, m_k, p_k$ by $\bu_k, \bm_k, \bp_k$ and of the functions $\hu_k, \hm_k, \hp_k$ by $\bhu_k, \bhm_k,\bhp_k$.

Then, the discretization of the above system is given by the following symmetric linear system:

$\bH_k \, \bhm_k = -\bg_k.$

The gradient $\bg_k$ is computed using the following three steps

Given $\bm_k$ we solve the forward problem

$\bA_k \bu_k = {\bf f},$

where $\bA_k \bu_k$ stems from the discretization $(\exp(m_k)\nabla u_k, \nabla \tilde{p})$, and ${\bf f}$ stands for the discretization of the right hand side $f$.

Given $\bm_k$ and $\bu_k$ solve the adjoint problem

$\bA_k^T \bp_k = - \bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{uu}}\,(\bu_k-\bu_d)$

where $\bA_k^T \bp_k$ stems from the discretization of $(\exp(m_k)\nabla \tilde{u}, \nabla p_k)$, $\bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{uu}}$ is the mass matrix corresponding to the $L^2$ inner product in the state space, and $\bu_d$ stems from the data.

Define the gradient

$\bg_k = \bR \bhm_k + \bC_k^T \bp_k,$

where $\bR$ is the matrix stemming from discretization of the regularization operator $\gamma ( \nabla \hat{m}, \nabla \tilde{m})$, and $\bC_k$ stems from discretization of the term $(\tilde{m}\exp(m_k)\nabla u_k, \nabla p_k)$.

Similarly the action of the Hessian $\bH_k \, \bhm_k$ in a direction $\bhm_k$ (by using the CG algorithm we only need the action of $\bH_k$ to solve the Newton step) is given by

Solve the incremental forward problem

$\bA_k \bhu_k = -\bC_k \bm_k,$

where $\bC_k \bm_k$ stems from discretization of $(\hat{m} \exp(m_k) \nabla u_k, \nabla \tilde p)$.

Solve the incremental adjoint problem

$\bA_k^T \bhp_k = -(\bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{uu}} \bhu_k + \bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{um}}\,\bhm_k),$

where $\bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{um}}\,\bhm_k$ stems for the discretization of $(\hat{m}_k \exp(m_k)\nabla p_k, \nabla \tilde{u})$.

Define the Hessian action

$\bH_k \, \bhm = \underbrace{(\bR + \bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{mm}})}_{\text{Hessian of the regularization}} \bhm + \underbrace{(\bC_k^{T}\bA_k^{-T} (\bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{uu}} \bA_k^{-1} \bC_k - \bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{um}}) - \bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{mu}} \bA_k^{-1} \bC_k)}_{\text{Hessian of the data misfit}}\;\bhm.$

As in the introduction, the first thing we need to do is set up the numerical model. In this cell, we set the mesh, the finite element functions $u, p, g$ corresponding to state, adjoint and coefficient/gradient variables, and the corresponding test functions and the parameters for the optimization.

# create mesh and define function spaces

The cost function evaluation:

$J(m):=\underbrace{\frac{1}{2}\int_\Omega (u-u_d)^2\, dx}_{\text{misfit} } + \underbrace{\frac{\gamma}{2}\int_\Omega|\nabla m|^2\,dx}_{\text{reg}}$

In the code below, $\bW$ and $\bR$ are symmetric positive definite matrices that stem from finite element discretization of the misfit and regularization component of the cost functional, respectively.

# regularization parameter
gamma = 1e-8

# weak for for setting up the misfit and regularization compoment of the cost
W_equ   = inner(u_trial, u_test) * dx

# refine cost function
def cost(u, ud, m, W, R):
    diff = u.vector() - ud.vector()
    reg = 0.5 * m.vector().inner(R*m.vector() ) 
    misfit = 0.5 * diff.inner(W * diff)
    return [reg + misfit, misfit, reg]

# weak form for setting up matrices
Wum_equ = inner(exp(m) * m_trial * nabla_grad(p_test), nabla_grad(p)) * dx

The reduced Hessian apply to a vector $\bhm$:

Here we describe how to apply the reduced Hessian operator to a vector $\bhm$. For an opportune choice of the regularization, the reduced Hessian operator evaluated in a neighborhood of the solution is positive define, whereas far from the solution the reduced Hessian may be indefinite. On the constrary, the Gauss-Newton approximation of the Hessian is always positive defined.

For this reason, it is beneficial to perform a few initial Gauss-Newton steps (5 in this particular example) to accelerate the convergence of the inexact Newton-CG algorithm.

The Hessian apply reads: $\begin{align} \bhu &= -\bA^{-1} \bC \bhm\, & \text{linearized forward}\\ \bhp &= -\bA^{-T} (\bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{uu}} \bhu + \bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{um}}\,\bhm) & \text{adjoint}\\ \bH \bhm &= (\bR + \bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{mm}})\bhm + \bC^T \bhp + \bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{mu}} \bhu. \end{align}$

The Gauss-Newton Hessian apply is obtained by dropping the second derivatives operators $\bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{um}}\,\bhm$, $\bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{mm}}\bf \bhm$, and $\bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{mu}} \bhu$: $\begin{align} \bhu &= -\bA^{-1} \bC \bf \bhm\, & \text{linearized forward}\\ \bhp &= -\bA^{-T} \bW_{\scriptsize\mbox{uu}} \bhu & \text{adjoint}\\ \bH_{\rm GN} \bhm &= \bR \bhm + \bC^T \bhp. \end{align}$

The inexact Newton-CG optimization with Armijo line search:

We solve the constrained optimization problem using the inexact Newton-CG method with Armijo line search.

The stopping criterion is based on a relative reduction of the norm of the gradient (i.e. $\frac{|g_{n}|}{|g_{0}|} \leq \tau$).

First, we compute the gradient by solving the state and adjoint equation for the current parameter $m$, and then substituing the current state $u$, parameter $m$ and adjoint $p$ variables in the weak form expression of the gradient: $(g, \tilde{m}) = \gamma(\nabla m, \nabla \tilde{m}) +(\tilde{m}\nabla u, \nabla p).$

Then, we compute the Newton direction $\hat m$ by iteratively solving $\mathcal{H} {\hat m} = -g$. The Newton system is solved inexactly by early termination of conjugate gradient iterations via Eisenstat–Walker (to prevent oversolving) and Steihaug (to avoid negative curvature) criteria.

Finally, the Armijo line search uses backtracking to find $\alpha$ such that a sufficient reduction in the cost functional is achieved. More specifically, we use backtracking to find $\alpha$ such that: $J( m + \alpha \delta m ) \leq J(m) + \alpha c_{\rm armijo} (\hat m,g).$
