Stabilization of solutions of initial-boundary problems for quasilinear parabolic equations

Lower bounds are obtained for solutions of the initial-boundary Dirichlet problem for high order equations. Sharp bounds are also obtained for ess sup¦u(x, t)¦ of the Neumann initial-boundary problem for a second- order equation in D=x(t >0), where (Rⁿ, n 2 is a domain with noncompact convex boundary.Translated from Ukrainskii Maternaticheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 10, pp. 1441–1450, October, 1992.     

Regularization for a class of ill-posed Cauchy problems

This paper is concerned with the ill-posed Cauchy problem associated with a densely defined linear operator in a Banach space. Our main result is that if is the generator of an analytic semigroup of angle , then there exists a family of regularizing operators for such an ill-posed Cauchy problem by using the Gajewski and Zacharias quasi-reversibility method, and semigroups of linear operators.

     

The quasi-reversibility method to solve the Cauchy problems for parabolic equations

In this paper, on the one hand, we take the conventional quasi-reversibility method to obtain the error estimates of approximate solutions of the Cauchy problems for parabolic equations in a sub-domain of QT with strong restrictions to the measured boundary data. On the other hand, weakening the conditions on the measured data, then combining the duality method in optimization with the quasi-reversibility method, we solve the Cauchy problems for parabolic equations in the presence of noisy data. Using this method, we can get the proper regularization parameter ε that we need in the quasi-reversibility method and obtain the convergence rate of approximate solutions as the noise of amplitude δ tends to zero.     

Carleman estimates for the regularization of ill-posed Cauchy problems

This work is a survey of results for ill-posed Cauchy problems for PDEs of the author with co-authors starting from 1991. A universal method of the regularization of these problems is presented here. Even though the idea of this method was previously discussed for specific problems, a universal approach of this paper was not discussed, at least in detail. This approach consists in constructing of such Tikhonov functionals which are generated by unbounded linear operators of those PDEs. The approach is quite general one, since it is applicable to all PDE operators for which Carleman estimates are valid. Three main types of operators of the second order are among them: elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic ones. The key idea is that convergence rates of minimizers are established using Carleman estimates. Generalizations to nonlinear inverse problems, such as problems of reconstructions of obstacles and coefficient inverse problems are also feasible.

The Cauchy problem for a class of quasilinear parabolic equations

The present paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem for the parabolic equation u_t+H(t,x,u,u)=u. New conditions guaranteeing the global classical solvability are formulated. Moreover, it is shown that the same conditions guarantee the global existence of the Lipschitz continuous viscosity solution for the related Hamilton–Jacobi equation.

Identification problems for degenerate parabolic equations

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 degenerate identification problems. Applications to identification problems for the Stokes system, Poisson-heat equation, and Maxwell system are given to illustrate the theory.

Inverse problems for parabolic equations 2

Let u_t − u_xx = h(t) in 0 ⩽ x ⩽ π, t ⩾ 0. Assume that u(0, t) = v(t), u(π, t) = 0, and u(x, 0) = g(t). The problem is: what extra data determine the three unknown functions {h, v, g} uniquely? This question is answered and an analytical method for recovery of the above three functions is proposed.
