| contents | In this paper, we propose a simple numerical algorithm based on the weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method for a class of fourth-order problems in fluorescence tomography (FT), eliminating the need for stabilizer terms required in traditional WG methods. FT is an emerging, non-invasive 3D imaging technique that reconstructs images of fluorophore-tagged molecule distributions in vivo. By leveraging bubble functions as a key analytical tool, our method extends to both convex and non-convex elements in finite element partitions, representing a significant advancement over existing stabilizer-free WG methods. It overcomes the restrictive conditions of previous approaches, offering substantial advantages. The proposed method preserves a simple, symmetric, and positive definite structure. These advantages are confirmed by optimal-order error estimates in a discrete $H^2$ norm, demonstrating the effectiveness and accuracy of our approach. Numerical experiments further validate the efficiency and precision of the proposed method. |
