Abstract: We investigate the convergence rates for Tikhonov regularization of the problem of identifying the coefficient $q$ in the Neumann problem for an elliptic system. This problem is frequently arising in practice, for example, in ground water
engineering. However, it is nonlinear and ill-posed. In the literature, researchers are using the least squares method for solving it and so they are faced with non-convex ill-posed optimization problems. In contrast, we regularize the problem by minimizing some new convex functionals over the admissible set. Taking the solutions of these optimization problems as the regularized solutions to the identification problem, we obtain the convergence rates of them correspondingly to 1) $q^*$-minimum norm solution, 2) a total variation-minimizing solution in the sense of the Bregman distance, or 3) a total variation-minimizing solution both in the sense of Bregman distance and $L^2$-norm under relatively simple source
conditions without the smallness requirement on the source functions. We also study the convergence of the finite element method for this inverse problem. Some numerical results are presented.
