Simultaneous space diffusivity and source term reconstruction in 2D IHCP (Q1609025): Difference between revisions

The authors discuss the simultaneous estimation of the diffusivity coefficient and source term, together with the temperature and the heat flux in the two dimensional IHCP, provided that Cauchy data at the active boundary and the initial temperature distributions are given approximately. They assume that the source term can be written in the form \(f(x,y) g(t) \), or that the source term is independent of time, and they develop a table numerical marching scheme bases on discrete mollification for recovering the diffusivity coefficients and source terms. The stability of the scheme and its error analysis are discussed. Several interesting numerical examples are presented.
