Dynamic inverse problems for parabolic systems (Q5942149)

The authors consider a dynamical system, described by a parabolic partial differential equation in finite time, that depends on an input parameter. This input has to be reconstructed approximately from inaccurate observations of phase states by means of a dynamic stable algorithm. After presenting a general scheme, the reconstruction problem for distributed controls in abstract systems under instantaneous constraints on the control, for distributed and boundary controls, and for the position of perturbation sources, is treated in the context of a linear differential equation. Furthermore, the reconstruction problem for boundary controls and elliptic operators in nonliner equations is considered.
