Quantitative results for the 1D constant coefficients test-case using the two-norm regularized solver (L2) and the compressive sampling (CS) solver. The ground truth forward solver parameters are indicated by ‘ ★’ and their respective reconstructed coefficient values by ‘rec’. We use a spatial discretization of 2π/256 with 256 grid points and a time discretization of 0.01 with 100 time steps. We consider the ground truth for the model constants as ρ★ = 10, κ★ = 0.05 to ensure a large tumor (larger tumors correspond to larger time horizons which make inverting for initial conditions hard). We report the relative error in inverted coefficient values (eκ, eρ), the relative error in final tumor reconstruction (μT,L2), the relative error in the reconstructed initial condition (μ0,L2), the relative error in the parameterization of the initial condition (μp,1), the relative change in the gradient (∥g∥rel) and solver timings (Tinv) in seconds.
