Experimental design for over-determined problems is a well studied topic where different criteria and optimization algorithms are explored. For ill-posed problems experimental design is rather new. In this paper we discuss optimal experimental design for ill-posed problems and suggest a numerical framework to efficiently achieve such a design. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm a...

It must also be cost effective to smoothen the approaching demographic transition (SOU 2017:21). This study aims to present an understanding of how psychosocial wellbeing can increase amongst older adults after a hospital stay b...
