We study whether a modified version of Tikhonov regularization can be used to identify several local sources from Dirichlet boundary data for a prototypical elliptic PDE. This paper extends the results presented in [5]. It turns out that the possibility of distinguishing between two, or more, sources depends on the smoothing properties of a second or fourth order PDE. Consequently, the geometry of the involved domain, as well as the position of the sources relative to the boundary of this domain, determines the identifiability. We also present a uniqueness result for the identification of a single local source. This result is derived in terms of an abstract operator framework and is therefore not only applicable to the model problem studied in this paper. Our schemes yield quadratic optimization problems and can thus be solved with standard software tools. In addition to a theoretical investigation, this paper also contains several numerical experiments.
