Optimal shape and location of sensors for parabolic equations with random initial data (Q2347187)

The purpose of this article is to study observability of parabolic equations, in particular the heat equation and the anomalous diffusion equation. The method of proof is Fourier series for random variables. The proofs use Fubinis theorem, minimax arguments, Bessel functions, Cauchy-Schwartz inequality, Kapteyn inequality for Bessel functions, Lagrange multiplier, Hölder inequality.
