Solution of inverse boundary-value problems for multicomponent parabolic distributed systems (Q2480499)

The authors consider the following parabolic equation: \[ \frac{\partial y}{\partial t} = \sum_{i,j = 1}^n {\frac{\partial }{\partial x_, }\left( {k_{ij} (x)\frac{\partial y}{\partial xj}} \right) + \widetilde {f}(x,t).} \] In the first paragraph Neuman boundary value problem is studied with \(k_{ij} = k_{ji} \in C(\overline {\Omega }) \cap C^1(\Omega )\), \(i,j = 1,\dots,n,\) on a domain \(\Omega _T = \Omega \times (0,T)\), \[ \sum_{i,j = 1}^n {k_{ij} \xi _i \xi _j } \geq a_0 \sum_{i - 1}^n {\xi _i ^2} \quad\forall \xi _i,\xi _j \in\mathbb R^1,\;\forall x \in \Omega , \] \[ a_0 = \text{const}>0, \quad f\left| {_{\Omega _T } \in C(\Omega _T )} \right., \quad\left| f \right| < \infty ,\;x = (x_1 ,\dots,x_n ). \] The paper consists of seven sections. The rest six sections include: the problem with interface conditions for a thin composite inclusion; the problem with mixed boundary conditions; the problem with principal inhomogeneous interface condition; problem with interface conditions for concentrated heat capacity; the retrospective inverse problem; renewal of internal sources.
