Quasi-one-dimensional method for the two-dimensional magnetotelluric sounding inverse problem

The two-dimensional magnetotelluric sounding inverse problem is solved by a quasi-one-dimensional method. A linearization method is proposed for one-dimensional inverse problems. The appearance of false conducting structures in the solution of the inverse problem is considered and some counter-measures are suggested. The quasi-one-dimensional method is applicable to many-dimensional magnetotelluric sounding inverse problems if the electrical conductivity is a priori known to vary slowly along the Earth’s surface. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Matematika i Informatika, No. 22, pp. 5–11, 2005.     

Mathematical modeling of the vertical magnetic dipole field in a two-dimensional nonhomogeneous medium

We consider a quasi-three-dimensional problem of remote marine sounding by a high-power stationary source located on land. A transition from the three-dimensional problem to a family of parametric two-dimensional problems is performed. The solution of the remote marine sounding problem is obtained with high accuracy after solving about 20 two-dimensional problems. The integral equations are solved by the modified integral current method, which has proved highly efficient for field computations inside a strongly conducting anomaly. The electric field amplitude is observed to increase with depth. The width of the coastal current channel is estimated by analyzing the vertical magnetic field component.     

Linearization method in two-dimensional inverse problem of magnetotelluric sounding

An algorithm is described for the two-dimensional inverse problem of magnetotelluric sounding with E-polarization, based on minimization of the Tikhonov smoothing functional by the Newton—Kantorovich method (linearization method). The method of integral equations is used in the algorithm to solve the direct problem of magnetotelluric sounding. An iterative method is constructed for the solution of the integral equation in the direct problem and a rate of convergence bound is derived for this method.Translated from Metody Matematicheskogo Modelirovaniya, Avtomatizatsiya Obrabotki Nablyudenii i Ikh Primeneniya, pp. 199–215, 1986.

A numerical method for solving an inverse thermoacoustic problem

In this paper, we consider an inverse problem of determining the initial condition of an initial boundary value problem for the wave equation with some additional information about solving a direct initial boundary value problem. The information is obtained from measurements at the boundary of the solution domain. The purpose of our paper is to construct a numerical algorithm for solving the inverse problem by an iterative method called a method of simple iteration (MSI) and to study the resolution quality of the inverse problem as a function of the number and location of measurement points. Three two-dimensional inverse problem formulations are considered. The results of our numerical calculations are presented. It is shown that the MSI decreases the objective functional at each iteration step. However, due to the ill-posedness of the inverse problem the difference between the exact and approximate solutions decreases up to some fixed number k _min, and then monotonically increases. This shows the regularizing properties of the MSI, and the iteration number can be considered a regularization parameter.     

Two-dimensional inverse quasilinear parabolic problem with periodic boundary condition

In this study, we consider a coefficient problem of a quasi-linear two-dimensional parabolic inverse problem with periodic boundary and integral over determination conditions. We prove the existence, uniqueness and continuously dependence upon the data of the solution by iteration method. Also, we consider numerical solution for this inverse problem by using linearization and the implicit finite-difference scheme.     

Solving an inverse parametric control problem for one-dimensional maps

The article analytically investigates one-dimensional maps and their properties under periodic perturbations. A method is proposed to find parametric perturbations that stabilize given cycles of one-dimensional maps. By solving the inverse problem we find the existence regions of stable cycles of parametrically perturbed quadratic maps and circle maps of standard form.     

Exactly solvable models and dynamic quantum systems

Complicated dynamic systems with several degrees of freedom are investigated with the inverse scattering method using an adiabatic approach based on a consistent statement of two adiabatic problems. An algebraic technique based on the parametric inverse problem in an adiabatic representation is developed for reconstructing two-dimensional (time-dependent and time-independent) potentials and the corresponding solutions. The calculated elements of the exchange interaction matrix determine the system of corresponding gauge equations. The main characteristics of the exchange interaction essentially depend on the statement of the parametric inverse problem. Namely, if the parametric problem is specified on the entire axis, then the constraint matrix elements are regular at degeneration points of two levels. The opposite occurs in the case of the radial parametric problem or the parametric problem specified on the semiaxis. The influence of the parametric spectral characteristics of the fast subsystem on the behavior of the slow subsystem is studied. In particular, it is shown that state transitions of a two-level system vanish for a special choice of the normalization functions. Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika.

THE QUASI-BOUNDARY VALUE METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING THE INITIAL VALUE OF THE SPACE-TIME FRACTIONAL DIFFUSION EQUATION

In this article, we consider to solve the inverse initial value problem for an inhomogeneous space-time fractional diffusion equation. This problem is ill-posed and the quasi-boundary value method is proposed to deal with this inverse problem and obtain the series expression of the regularized solution for the inverse initial value problem. We prove the error estimates between the regularization solution and the exact solution by using an a priori regularization parameter and an a posteriori regularization parameter choice rule. Some numerical results in one-dimensional case and two-dimensional case show that our method is effcient and stable.     

Numerical solution of forward and backward problem for 2-D heat conduction equation

For a two-dimensional heat conduction problem, we consider its initial boundary value problem and the related inverse problem of determining the initial temperature distribution from transient temperature measurements. The conditional stability for this inverse problem and the error analysis for the Tikhonov regularization are presented. An implicit inversion method, which is based on the regularization technique and the successive over-relaxation (SOR) iteration process, is established. Due to the explicit difference scheme for a direct heat problem developed in this paper, the inversion process is very efficient, while the application of SOR technique makes our inversion convergent rapidly. Numerical results illustrating our method are also given.     

AN ADAPTIVE INVERSE ITERATION FEM FOR THE INHOMOGENEOUS DIELECTRIC WAVEGUIDES

We introduce an adaptive finite element method for computing electromagnetic guided waves in a closed, inhomogeneous, pillared three-dimensional waveguide at a given frequency based on the inverse iteration method. The problem is formulated as a generalized eigenvalue problems. By modifying the exact inverse iteration algorithm for the eigenvalue problem, we design a new adaptive inverse iteration finite element algorithm. Adaptive finite element methods based on a posteriori error estimate are known to be successful in resolving singularities of eigenfunctions which deteriorate the finite element convergence. We construct a posteriori error estimator for the electromagnetic guided waves problem. Numerical results are reported to illustrate the quasi-optimal performance of our adaptive inverse iteration finite element method.     

A modified quasi-boundary value method for an inverse source problem of the time-fractional diffusion equation

In this paper, we consider an inverse source problem for a time-fractional diffusion equation with variable coefficients in a general bounded domain. That is to determine a space-dependent source term in the time-fractional diffusion equation from a noisy final data. Based on a series expression of the solution, we can transform the original inverse problem into a first kind integral equation. The uniqueness and a conditional stability for the space-dependent source term can be obtained. Further, we propose a modified quasi-boundary value regularization method to deal with the inverse source problem and obtain two kinds of convergence rates by using an a priori and an a posteriori regularization parameter choice rule, respectively. Numerical examples in one-dimensional and two-dimensional cases are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Solution of inverse problems in the class of quasi-one-dimensional functions

Solution of the inverse problem of magnetotelluric sounding in a two-dimensional medium is considered. The solution methods are based on the assumption that the distribution of electrical conductivity is representable as the sum of a slowly varying component and a small increment. This model makes it possible to introduce small parameters in the equations of the problem, which are used for the construction of a sequence of functions approximating the solution of the inverse problem.Translated from Metody Matematicheskogo Modelirovaniya, Avtomatizatsiya Obrabotki Nablyudenii i Ikh Primeneniya, pp. 160–175, 1986.     

Inverse problem of electromagnetic sounding of the shape of a conducting body

The inverse problem of electromagnetic sounding of the shape of a conducting body is considered in the framework of the two-dimensional model with E-polarization, assuming a cylindrical body of an arbitrary cross section embedded in a layered medium. The integral equations are obtained for the case of an ideally conducting body and a body of finite conductivity. The linearization method is applied to obtain an iterative method that finds a correction to the initial shape.

Generalized Iteration Method for First-Kind Integral Equations

An iteration method is described to solve one-dimensional, first-kind integral equations with finite integration limits and difference kernel, K ( x − x '), that decays exponentially. The method relies on deriving via the Wiener–Hopf factorization and solving by suitable iterations in the Fourier complex plane a pair of integral relations, where each iteration accounts for all end point singularities in x of the exact solution. For even and odd kernels, this pair reduces to decoupled, 2nd-kind Fredholm equations, and the iteration yields Neumann series subject to known convergence criteria. This formulation is applied to a classic problem of steady advection-diffusion in the two-dimensional (2D) potential flow of concentrated fluid. The remarkable overlap of recently derived asymptotic expansions for the flux in this case is shown to be intimately related to the analyticity of the kernel Fourier transform.

Regularization of a terminal value problem for time fractional diffusion equation

In this article, we study an inverse problem with inhomogeneous source to determine an initial data from the time fractional diffusion equation. In general, this problem is ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard, so the quasi-boundary value method is proposed to solve the problem. In the theoretical results, we propose a priori and a posteriori parameter choice rules and analyze them. Finally, two numerical results in the one-dimensional and two-dimensional case show the evidence of the used regularization method.
