Inverse Problem for Quasi-Periodic Differential Pencils with Jump Conditions Inside the Interval

Non-self-adjoint second-order differential pencils on a finite interval with non-separated quasi-periodic boundary conditions and jump conditions are studied. We establish properties of spectral characteristics and investigate the inverse spectral problem of recovering the operator from its spectral data. For this inverse problem we prove the corresponding uniqueness theorem and provide an algorithm for constructing its solution.     

Direct and inverse boundary value problems for models of stationary reaction–convection–diffusion

Direct and inverse boundary value problems for models of stationary reaction–convection–diffusion are investigated. The direct problem consists in finding a solution of the corresponding boundary value problem for given data on the boundary of the domain of the independent variable. The peculiarity of the direct problem consists in the inhomogeneity and irregularity of mixed boundary data. Solvability and stability conditions are specified for the direct problem. The inverse boundary value problem consists in finding some traces of the solution of the corresponding boundary value problem for given standard and additional data on a certain part of the boundary of the domain of the independent variable. The peculiarity of the inverse problem consists in its ill-posedness. Regularizing methods and solution algorithms are developed for the inverse problem.

Also, we consider numerical solution for this inverse problem by using linearization and the implicit finite-difference scheme.     

On determining the source function in heat and mass transfer problems under integral overdetermination conditions

We examine an inverse problem of determining the right-hand side (the source function) in a parabolic equation from integral overdetermination data. By a solution to a parabolic equation we mean a weak solution, and the right-hand side in this equation can be a distribution of a certain class. Under some conditions on the data of the problem, we demonstrate that this inverse problem is well posed and, in particular, some stability estimates hold.

Inverse problem of determining the right-hand side in a degenerating parabolic equation with unbounded coefficients

Uniqueness and existence theorems for the solution of the inverse problem for a degenerating parabolic equation with unbounded coefficients on a plane in conditions of integral observations are proven. Estimates of the solution with constants explicitly expresses via the input data of the problem are obtained.     

Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions of Inverse Problems for Degenerate Parabolic Equations

We obtain theorems on the proximity as t → +∞ between the solution of the inverse problem for a second-order degenerate parabolic equation with one spatial variable and the solution of the inverse problem for a second-order degenerate ordinary differential equation under an additional integral observation condition. The conditions imposed on the input data admit oscillations of the functions on the right-hand side in the parabolic equation under study.     

On the Uniqueness of the Solution of the Inverse Sturm–Liouville Problem with Nonseparated Boundary Conditions on a Geometric Graph

For the first time, the inverse Sturm–Liouville problem with nonseparated boundary conditions is studied on a star-shaped geometric graph with three edges. It is shown that the Sturm–Liouville problem with general boundary conditions cannot be uniquely reconstructed from four spectra. Nonseparated boundary conditions are found for which a uniqueness theorem for the solution of the inverse Sturm–Liouville problem is proved. The spectrum of the boundary value problem itself and the spectra of three auxiliary problems are used as reconstruction data. It is also shown that the Sturm–Liouville problem with these nonseparated boundary conditions can be uniquely recovered if three spectra of auxiliary problems are used as reconstruction data and only five of its eigenvalues are used instead of the entire spectrum of the problem.     

Determination of a spacewise dependent heat source

This paper investigates the inverse problem of determining a spacewise dependent heat source in the parabolic heat equation using the usual conditions of the direct problem and information from a supplementary temperature measurement at a given single instant of time. The spacewise dependent temperature measurement ensures that the inverse problem has a unique solution, but this solution is unstable, hence the problem is ill-posed. For this inverse problem, we propose an iterative algorithm based on a sequence of well-posed direct problems which are solved at each iteration step using the boundary element method (BEM). The instability is overcome by stopping the iterations at the first iteration for which the discrepancy principle is satisfied. Numerical results are presented for various typical benchmark test examples which have the input measured data perturbed by increasing amounts of random noise.

On Determining Sources with Compact Supports in a Bounded Plane Domain for the Heat Equation

The inverse problem of determining the source for the heat equation in a bounded domain on the plane is studied. The trace of the solution of the direct problem on two straight line segments inside the domain is given as overdetermination (i.e., additional information on the solution of the direct problem). A Fredholm alternative theorem for this problem is proved, and sufficient conditions for its unique solvability are obtained. The inverse problem is considered in classes of smooth functions whose derivatives satisfy the Hölder condition.

Some classes of inverse problems of determining the source function in convection–diffusion systems

We consider the generalized solvability of convection–diffusion systems and study the inverse problem of determining the right-hand side (the source function) of such a system from integral overdetermination data. The solution of a parabolic system is understood in the generalized sense, and distributions of certain classes are allowed as right-hand sides. Under certain conditions on the problem data, we show that the inverse problem is well-posed in the Sobolev classes.     

An inverse eigenvalue problem and an associated approximation problem for generalized K-centrohermitian matrices

A partially described inverse eigenvalue problem and an associated optimal approximation problem for generalized K-centrohermitian matrices are considered. It is shown under which conditions the inverse eigenproblem has a solution. An expression of its general solution is given. In case a solution of the inverse eigenproblem exists, the optimal approximation problem can be solved. The formula of its unique solution is given.     

A global in time existence and uniqueness result for an integrodifferential hyperbolic inverse problem with memory effect

We consider an inverse problem for a one-dimensional integrodifferential hyperbolic system, which comes from a simplified model of thermoelasticity. This inverse problem aims to identify the displacement u, the temperature η and the memory kernel k simultaneously from the weighted measurement data of temperature. By using the fixed point theorem in suitable Sobolev spaces, the global in time existence and uniqueness results of this inverse problem are obtained. Moreover, we prove that the solution to this inverse problem depends continuously on the noisy data in suitable Sobolev spaces. For this nonlinear inverse problem, our theoretical results guarantee the solvability for the proposed physical model and the well-posedness for small measurement time τ, which is quite different from general inverse problems.     

An inverse coefficient problem for the heat equation in the case of nonlocal boundary conditions

This paper investigates the inverse problem of finding a time-dependent coefficient in a heat equation with nonlocal boundary and integral overdetermination conditions. Under some regularity and consistency conditions on the input data, the existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence upon the data of the solution are shown by using the generalized Fourier method.     

Joint additive Kullback–Leibler residual minimization and regularization for linear inverse problems

For the approximate solution of ill‐posed inverse problems, the formulation of a regularization functional involves two separate decisions: the choice of the residual minimizer and the choice of the regularizor. In this paper, the Kullback–Leibler functional is used for both. The resulting regularization method can solve problems for which the operator and the observational data are positive along with the solution, as occur in many inverse problem applications. Here, existence, uniqueness, convergence and stability for the regularization approximations are established under quite natural regularity conditions. Convergence rates are obtained by using an a priori strategy. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
