A simplified Tikhonov regularization method for determining the heat source

This paper is to discuss the inverse problem of determining a spacewise dependent heat source in one-dimensional heat equation in a bounded domain where data is given at some fixed time. This problem is ill-posed, i.e., the solution (if it exists) does not depend continuously on the data. The regularization solution is given by a simplified Tikhonov regularization. For this regularization solution, the Hölder type stability estimate between the regularization solution and the exact solution is obtained. Numerical examples show that the regularization method is effective and stable.

A modified quasi-boundary value method for solving the radially symmetric inverse heat conduction problem

In this paper, we consider a radially symmetric inverse heat conduction problem of determining the surface heat flux distribution from a fixed location inside a cylinder. This problem is ill-posed in the Hadamard sense and a conditional stability estimate is given for it. A modified quasi-boundary value regularization method is applied to formulate a regularized solution, and a sharp error estimate between the approximate solution and the exact solution is established by choosing a suitable regularization parameter. A numerical example is presented to verify the efficiency of the regularization method.

This paper investigates the inverse problem of determining a heat source in a parabolic equation where data are given at some fixed location. This problem is ill-posed, i.e., the solution (if it exists) does not depend continuously on the data. A central difference regularization method is given and an order optimal stability estimate is obtained. Numerical results for several benchmark test problems indicate that the central difference regularization method is an accurate and flexible method to determine the unknown time-dependent heat source.

An illustrating example involving parameter estimation for a one dimensional stationary heat equation is given.     

Two Tikhonov‐type regularization methods for inverse source problem on the Poisson equation

In this paper, we investigate a problem of the identification of an unknown source on Poisson equation from some fixed location. A conditional stability estimate for an inverse heat source problem is proved. We show that such a problem is mildly ill‐posed and further present two Tikhonov‐type regularization methods (a generalized Tikhonov regularization method and a simplified generalized Tikhonov regularization method) to deal with this problem. Convergence estimates are presented under the a priori choice of the regularization parameter. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of our methods.

This paper deals with an inverse problem for identifying an unknown time-dependent heat source in a one-dimensional heat equation, with the aid of an extra measurement of temperature at an internal point.

Furthermore, the Hölder type stability estimate between the regularization solutions and the exact solution, are obtained, respectively. Numerical examples show that these regularization methods are effective and stable.     

A variational-type method of fundamental solutions for a Cauchy problem of Laplace’s equation

In this paper, we propose a new regularization method based on a finite-dimensional subspace generated from fundamental solutions for solving a Cauchy problem of Laplace’s equation in a simply-connected bounded domain. Based on a global conditional stability for the Cauchy problem of Laplace’s equation, the convergence analysis is given under a suitable choice for a regularization parameter and an a-priori bound assumption to the solution. Numerical experiments are provided to support the analysis and to show the effectiveness of the proposed method from both accuracy and stability.

Fourier regularization method of a sideways heat equation for determining surface heat flux

We consider a non-standard inverse heat conduction problem in a quarter plane which appears in some applied subjects. We want to know the surface heat flux in a body from a measured temperature history at a fixed location inside the body. This is an exponentially ill-posed problem in the sense that the solution (if it exists) does not depend continuously on the data. A Fourier regularization method together with order optimal logarithmic stability estimates is given. A numerical example shows that the theoretical results are valid.
