contents We present a variational optimization approach for the solution of a coefficient inverse problem of simultaneous reconstruction of the dielectric permittivity and conductivity functions in time-dependent Maxwell's system using limited boundary observations of the electric field. The variational optimization approach is based on constructing a weak form of a Lagrangian which allows to use finite element based reconstruction algorithms. The optimality conditions for the Lagrangian and stability estimate for the adjoint problem are derived, as well as Frechét differentiability of it and of the regularized Tikhonov functional are also presented. Two- and three-dimensional numerical studies confirm our theoretical investigations.
