Abstract
This paper deals with the solution of inverse problems in magnetostatics. The cases the authors have broached are finding the current density or positions of air coils on the basis of magnetic field measurements. These problems are ill-posed, so regularization techniques are needed. The authors discuss the main iterative regularization principles, and the stability issues of these inverse problems. This method is applied to MRI magnets. Numerical results are presented.
