Identifiabilité d'un coefficient variable en espace dans une équation parabolique
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.
We study an inverse problem for photon transport in an interstellar cloud. In particular, we evaluate the position of a localized source , 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 inside the cloud changes slowly in time. For this reason, we consider the so-called quasi-static approximation to the exact solution . By using semigroup theory, we prove existence and uniqueness...
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.
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.

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...
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...
This paper deals with multivalued identification problems for parabolic equations. The problem consists of recovering a source term from the knowledge of an additional observation of the solution by exploiting some accessible measurements. Semigroup approach and perturbation theory for linear operators are used to treat the solvability in the strong sense of the problem. As an important application we derive the corresponding existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence results for different...
In this work we first focus on the Stochastic Galerkin approximation of the solution u of an elliptic stochastic PDE. We rely on sharp estimates for the decay of the coefficients of the spectral expansion of u on orthogonal polynomials to build a sequence of polynomial subspaces that features better convergence properties compared to standard polynomial subspaces such as Total Degree or Tensor Product. We consider then the Stochastic Collocation method, and use the previous estimates to introduce...
Initial problems for nonlinear hyperbolic functional differential systems are considered. Classical solutions are approximated by solutions of suitable quasilinear systems of difference functional equations. The numerical methods used are difference schemes which are implicit with respect to the time variable. Theorems on convergence of difference schemes and error estimates of approximate solutions are presented. The proof of the stability is based on a comparison technique with nonlinear estimates...
