We do this by introducing a modified Monodomain model, and an output least squares formulation comparing simu- lation results with observation data. In this way we obtain a flexible method- ology allowing us to approximately determine the characteristics of infarctions with rather complex geometrical properties. Our approach involves a CPU demanding minimization problem. This problem is solved by applying an ad- joint equation enabling efficient differentiation of the involved cost-functional. Finally, our theoretical findings are illuminated by a series of numerical exper- iments.}, year = {2006}, journal = {International Journal of Numerical Analysis and Modeling}, volume = {3}, number = {4}, pages = {377-394}, }
