A globally convergent (the so-called convexification) algorithm was developed for coefficient inverse problems (CIPs) with time/frequency-dependent data. Convexification is extended to the case of a CIP for an elliptic equation with data generated by the source, running along a straight line. The data are incomplete, since they are given only at a part of the boundary. Applications to electrical impedance …
