We consider the inverse problem in magnetostatics for recovering the moment of a planar magnetization from measurements of the normal component of the magnetic field at a distance from the support. Such issues arise in studies of magnetic material in general and in paleomagnetism in particular. Assuming the magnetization is a measure with L2-density, we construct linear forms to be applied on the data in order to estimate the moment. These forms are obtained as solutions to certain extremal problems in Sobolev classes of functions, and their computation reduces to solving an elliptic differential-integral equation, for which synthetic numerical experiments are presented.

Keywords: Inverse moment estimation problems, elliptic partial differential equations, best constrained approximation in Hilbert spaces, harmonic functions, geosciences and planetary sciences, paleomagnetism.

Figure 2.  Approximation error of $b_3^*[\phi_{\mathit{\boldsymbol{e}}_k}(\lambda)]$ with respect to $\mathit{\boldsymbol{e}}_k$ when $\lambda$ varies (the scale for $\lambda$ is logarithmic). The solid line corresponds to the case when $k = 1$, while the dashed line corresponds to the case when $k = 3$. As expected from Lemma 4.1, on the one hand, when $\lambda$ goes to $0$ (i.e., $\log_{10}(\lambda) \to -\infty$), the error tends to $0$. On the other hand, when $\lambda$ goes large, the constraint $M(\lambda)$ goes to $0$, meaning that ${\phi _{{\rm{opt}}}}$ is forced to go to $0$, whence the relative error tends to $1$

Figure 3.  Constraint $M(\lambda) = \nabla \phi_{\mathit{\boldsymbol{e}}_k}(\lambda)$ as a function of $\lambda$ (the scale for $\lambda$ is logarithmic). The solid line corresponds to the case when $k = 1$, while the dashed line corresponds to the case when $k = 3$. As expected from Lemma 4.1, these are strictly decreasing smooth functions tending to $+\infty$ when $\lambda \to 0$ (i.e., $\log_{10}(\lambda) \to -\infty$) and tending to $0$ when $\lambda \to +\infty$

The upper plot corresponds to the case when $k = 1$, and the lower one to the case when $k = 3$. As expected, the error decreases and tends to $0$ as the constraint is relaxed

Table 1.  The components $\langle m_k \rangle$ ($k = 1, 2, 3$) of the net moment $\langle \mathit{\boldsymbol{m}} \rangle$ are approximated thanks to the linear estimator as $\mu_k = \langle b, \, \phi_{\mathit{\boldsymbol{e}}_k}(\lambda) \rangle_{L^2(Q)}$ for several values of $\lambda$ and with $b$ being either the exact synthetic field $b_3[\mathit{\boldsymbol{m}}]$ or the exact field plus some noise.
The quantities $\delta_k$ are the relative errors $\delta_k = \big(\mu_k - \langle m_k \rangle\big)/\langle m_k \rangle$. The quantity $\delta_r$ is the relative error of the amplitude of $\mathit{\boldsymbol{\mu}} = (\mu_1, \mu_2, \mu_3)$ as a vector approximation of $\langle \mathit{\boldsymbol{m}}\rangle$, i.e., $\delta_r = \big(\|\mathit{\boldsymbol{\mu}}\|-\|\langle \mathit{\boldsymbol{m}} \rangle\|\big)/\|\langle \mathit{\boldsymbol{m}} \rangle\|$, where $\|\cdot\|$ denotes the Euclidean norm. Finally, $\theta$ is the angle between the vectors $\mathit{\boldsymbol{\mu}}$ and $\langle \mathit{\boldsymbol{m}} \rangle$, i.e., $\theta = \frac{360}{2\pi}\, \arccos\big(\frac{\mathit{\boldsymbol{\mu}}}{\|\mathit{\boldsymbol{\mu}}\|}.\frac{\langle \mathit{\boldsymbol{m}} \rangle}{\|\langle \mathit{\boldsymbol{m}} \rangle\|}\big)$
