Global superconvergence of finite element methods for parabolic inverse problems

Hossein Azari, Shu Hua Zhang (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

In this article we transform a large class of parabolic inverse problems into a nonclassical parabolic equation whose coefficients consist of trace type functionals of the solution and its derivatives subject to some initial and boundary conditions. For this nonclassical problem, we study finite element methods and present an immediate analysis for global superconvergence for these problems, on basis of which we obtain a posteriori error estimators.

Identifiability, stability and reconstruction results of point sources by boundary measurements in heteregeneous trees.

Serge Nicaise, Ouahiba Zaïr (2003)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We consider the inverse problem of determining point wave sources in heteregeneous trees, extensions of one-dimensional stratified sets. We show that the Neumann boundary observation on a part of the lateral boundary determines uniquely the point sources if the time of observation is large enough. We further establish a conditional stability and give a reconstructing scheme.

Identification of a localized source in an interstellar cloud: an inverse problem

Meri Lisi, Silvia Totaro (2005)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We study an inverse problem for photon transport in an interstellar cloud. In particular, we evaluate the position x 0 of a localized source q x = q 0 δ x - x 0 , inside a nebula (for example, a star). We assume that the photon transport phenomenon is one-dimensional. Since a nebula moves slowly in time, the number of photons U inside the cloud changes slowly in time. For this reason, we consider the so-called quasi-static approximation u to the exact solution U . By using semigroup theory, we prove existence and uniqueness...

Identification of a wave equation generated by a string

Amin Boumenir (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We show that we can reconstruct two coefficients of a wave equation by a single boundary measurement of the solution. The identification and reconstruction are based on Krein’s inverse spectral theory for the first coefficient and on the Gelfand−Levitan theory for the second. To do so we use spectral estimation to extract the first spectrum and then interpolation to map the second one. The control of the solution is also studied.

Identification of cracks with non linear impedances

We consider the inverse problem of determining a crack submitted to a non linear impedance law. Identifiability and local Lipschitz stability results are proved for both the crack and the impedance.

We consider the inverse problem of determining a crack submitted to a non linear impedance law. Identifiability and local Lipschitz stability results are proved for both the crack and the impedance.

Identification of Green’s Functions Singularities by Cross Correlation of Ambient Noise Signals

Josselin Garnier (2011/2012)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

In this paper we consider the problem of estimating the singular support of the Green’s function of the wave equation by using ambient noise signals recorded by passive sensors. We assume that noise sources emit stationary random signals into the medium which are recorded by sensors. We explain how the cross correlation of the signals recorded by two sensors is related to the Green’s function between the sensors. By looking at the singular support of the cross correlation we can obtain an estimate...

Identification of source term in a nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation with memory

Soufiane Abid, Khalid Atifi, El-Hassan Essoufi, Abderrahim Zafrar (2024)

Applications of Mathematics

In this work, we consider an inverse backward problem for a nonlinear parabolic equation of the Burgers' type with a memory term from final data. To this aim, we first establish the well-posedness of the direct problem. On the basis of the optimal control framework, the existence and necessary condition of the minimizer for the cost functional are established. The global uniqueness and stability of the minimizer are deduced from the necessary condition. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness...
