Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we extend the previous method for solving inverse problems for steady-state equations using the Generalized Collage Theorem by searching for an approximation that not only minimizes the collage error but also maximizes the entropy and minimizes the sparsity. In this extended formulation, the parameter estimation minimization problem can be understood as a multiple criteria problem, with three different and conflicting criteria: The generalized collage error, the entropy associated with the unknown parameters, and the sparsity of the set of unknown parameters. We implement a scalarization technique to reduce the multiple criteria program to a single criterion one, by combining all objective functions with different trade-off weights. Numerical examples confirm that the collage method produces good, but sub-optimal, results. A relatively low-weighted entropy term allows for better approximations while the sparsity term decreases the complexity of the solution in terms of the number of elements in the basis.
