Stability estimate for an inverse boundary coefficient problem in thermal imaging

We establish a stability estimate for an inverse boundary coefficient problem in thermal imaging. The inverse problem under consideration consists in the determination of a boundary coefficient appearing in a boundary value problem for the heat equation with Robin boundary condition (we note here that the initial condition is assumed to be a priori unknown). Our stability estimate is of logarithmic type and it is essentially based on a logarithmic estimate for a Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation.     

Asymptotic stability and blowup of solutions for a class of viscoelastic inverse problem with boundary feedback

In this paper, we consider a nonlinear viscoelastic inverse problem with memory in the boundary. Under some suitable conditions on the coefficients, relaxation function, and initial data, we proved stability of solutions when the integral overdetermination tends to zero as time goes to infinity. Furthermore, we show that there are solutions under some conditions on initial data that blow up in finite time. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Recovering nonlinear terms in an inverse boundary value problem for Laplace's equation: A stability estimate

Stationary thermography can be used for investigating the functional form of a nonlinear cooling law that describes heat exchanges through an inaccessible part of the boundary of a conductor. In this paper, we obtain a logarithmic stability estimate for the associated nonlinear inverse problem. This stability estimate is obtained from the convergence and sensitivity analysis of a finite difference method for the numerical solution of the Cauchy problem for Laplace's equation, based on the Störmer–Verlet scheme.     

Numerical stability study and error estimation for two implicit schemes in a moving boundary problem

Two algorithms are described [Ferris D. H. (fixed time‐step method) and Gupta and Kumar (variable time‐step method)] that solve a mathematical model for the study of the one‐dimensional moving boundary problem with implicit boundary conditions. Landau's transformation is used, in order to work with a fixed number of nodes at each time‐step. The p.d.e. is discretized using an implicit finite difference scheme. The mathematical model describes the oxygen diffusion in absorbing tissues. An important application is the estimation of time‐variant radiation treatments of cancerous tumors. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 16: 42–61, 2000     

The singular sources method for an inverse problem with mixed boundary conditions

We use the singular sources method to detect the shape of the obstacle in a mixed boundary value problem. The basic idea of the method is based on the singular behavior of the scattered field of the incident point-sources on the boundary of the obstacle. Moreover we take advantage of the scattered field estimate by the backprojection operator. Also we give a uniqueness proof for the shape reconstruction.     

Conditional information for an inverse Gaussian distribution with known coefficient of variation

Conditional inference about a mean of an inverse Gaussian distribution with known coefficient of variation is discussed. For a random sample from the distribution, sufficient statistics with respect to the mean parameter include an ancillary statistic. The effects of conditioning on the ancillary statistic are investigated. It is shown that the model provides a good illustration of R. A. Fisher's recommendation concerning use of the observed second derivative of the log likelihood function in normal approximations.This work was started while Ksei Iwase was visiting the Institute of Statistical Mathematics in Spring, 1987, and was partly supported by the ISM Cooperative Research Program (88-ISM·CRP-7), and by Scientific Research Fund No. 62540173 from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Japan.     

The one phase free boundary problem for the -Laplacian with non-constant Bernoulli boundary condition

Our objective, here, is to generalize our earlier results on the existence of classical convex solution to a free boundary problem with a Bernoulli-type boundary gradient condition and with the -Laplacian as the governing operator. The main theorems of this paper assert that the exterior and the interior free boundary problem with a Bernoulli law, i.e. with a prescribed pressure on the ``free' streamline of the flow, have convex solutions provided the initial domains are convex. The continuous function is subject to certain convexity properties. In our earlier results we have considered the case of constant . In the lines of the proof of the main results we also prove the semi-continuity (up to the boundary) of the gradient of the -capacitary potentials in convex rings, with boundaries.

     

A critical case of stability in a free boundary problem

We study the stability of the planar travelling wave solution to a free boundary problem for the heat equation in the whole . We turn the problem into a fully nonlinear parabolic system and establish a stability result which is the proper generalization of the one-dimensional case. The curvature terms contribute a gradient squared corresponding to critical growth. The latter is eliminated by means of the Hopf-Cole transformation.

A coupled complex boundary method for an inverse conductivity problem with one measurement

We recently proposed in [Cheng, XL et al. A novel coupled complex boundary method for inverse source problems Inverse Problem 2014 30 055002] a coupled complex boundary method (CCBM) for inverse source problems. In this paper, we apply the CCBM to inverse conductivity problems (ICPs) with one measurement. In the ICP, the diffusion coefficient q is to be determined from both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary data. With the CCBM, q is sought such that the imaginary part of the solution of a forward Robin boundary value problem vanishes in the problem domain. This brings in advantages on robustness and computation in reconstruction. Based on the complex forward problem, the Tikhonov regularization is used for a stable reconstruction. Some theoretical analysis is given on the optimization models. Several numerical examples are provided to show the feasibility and usefulness of the CCBM for the ICP. It is illustrated that as long as all the subdomains share some portion of the boundary, our CCBM-based Tikhonov regularization method can reconstruct the diffusion parameters stably and effectively.     

Logarithmic stability inequality in an inverse source problem for the heat equation on a waveguide

ABSTRACT

We prove logarithmic stability in the parabolic inverse problem of determining the space-varying factor in the source, by a single partial boundary measurement of the solution to the heat equation in an infinite closed waveguide, with homogeneous initial and Dirichlet data.     

Abstract competitive systems and orbital stability in

Competitive autonomous systems in have the remarkable property of verifying an analogue of the Poincaré-Bendixon theorem for planar equations. This fact allows us to prove the existence of orbitally stable closed orbits for those systems under easily checkable hypothesis. Our aim is to introduce, by changing the ordering in , a new class of autonomous systems for which the preceding results directly extend. As a consequence we shall reinterpret some of the results of R. A. Smith in terms of the theory of monotone systems.

     

Reconstruction of inclusions for the inverse boundary value problem with mixed type boundary condition

We consider an inverse boundary value problem for identifying the inclusion inside a known anisotropic conductive medium. We give a reconstruction procedure for identifying the inclusion from the Dirichlet–Neumann map or the Neumann–Dirichlet map associated with the mixed type boundary condition.     

Hyers–Ulam stability for boundary value problem of fractional differential equations with κ-Caputo fractional derivative

The purpose of this paper is to discuss basic results of boundary value problems of fractional differential equations (BVP-FDEs) via the concept of Caputo fractional derivative with respect to another function with the order $\alpha \in (\mathrm{1,2})$. The existence and uniqueness results of a solution for BVP-FDEs are discussed by utilizing Banach fixed point theorem and Schaefer's fixed point theorem. We also provide new sufficient conditions to guarantee the Hyers-Ulam stability and the Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of BVP-FDEs. Furthermore, some concrete examples to consolidate the obtained results are also considered.     

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.     

An inverse diffusion problem with nonlocal boundary conditions

This article considers the inverse problem of identification of a time‐dependent thermal diffusivity together with the temperature in an one‐dimensional heat equation with nonlocal boundary and integral overdetermination conditions when a heat exchange takes place across boundary of the material. The well‐posedness of the problem is studied under some regularity, and consistency conditions on the data of the problem together with the nonnegativity condition on the Fourier coefficients of the initial data and source term. The inverse problem is also studied numerically by using the Crank–Nicolson finite difference scheme combined with predictor‐corrector technique. The numerical examples are presented and discussed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 32: 564–590, 2016
