Diffusivity determination in nonlinear diffusion

From MaRDI portal





The authors discuss recovery of the ``coefficient \(\phi(u)\) entering the quasilinear parabolic problem \[ u_ t=(\phi(u))_{xx}\hbox { in } (0,\infty)\times(0,T),\;u=0 \hbox { on } (0,\infty)\times\{0\},\;- (\phi(u))_ x=h\hbox { on } \{0\}\times(0,T) \] given the operator \(N:h\mapsto c^{-1}u(0,t)\) (\(c\) is a positive constant). They give reconstruction procedures in terms of eigenfunctions of \(N\) and some iteration schemes. In addition to the references we mention the paper of \textit{M. Pilant} and \textit{W. Rundell} [Commun. Partial Differ. Equations 11, 445-457 (1986; Zbl 0594.35057)].
