Diffusion coefficients estimation for elliptic partial differential equations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper considers the Dirichlet problem -mathrm{div}(a abla u_a)=f quad hbox{on},, D, qquad u_a=0quad hbox{on},,partial D, for a Lipschitz domain DsubsetmathbbRd, where a is a scalar diffusion function. For a fixed f, we discuss under which conditions is a uniquely determined and when can a be stably recovered from the knowledge of ua. A first result is that whenever ainH1(D), with 0<lambdalealeLambda on D, and finLinfty(D) is strictly positive, then |a-b|_{L_2(D)}le C|u_a-u_b|_{H_0^1(D)}^{1/6}. More generally, it is shown that the assumption ainH1(D) can be weakened to ainHs(D), for certain s<1, at the expense of lowering the exponent 1/6 to a value that depends on s.
