Nonlinear inverse problems are usually formulated as optimization problems on
function spaces constrained by partial differential equations. As a
consequence, in realistic, three-dimensional cases, they become
extraordinarily expensive to solve numerically, and advanced methods like
adaptive mesh refinement become indispensible. In this contribution, we
outline such an adaptive algorithm and demonstrate results using a realistic
example from optical tomography.
