Parameter identification in nonlocal nonlinear evolution equations

From MaRDI portal





This paper studies the following abstract parameter identification problem: Find parameters \(q\) that minimize a given performance index \( J(q) = \phi ( u (\cdot, q); z)\) where \(z\) are given observations and \( u(\cdot;q)\) is the solution of the initial value problem: \[ u'(t;q)+ A(t;q) u(t;q)= G(u;q)(t),\quad t \in (0,T), \;u(0;q)= \xi(q). \] Here \( A\) is in general nonlinear and \( G(u;q)\) is a nonlinear function that satisfies some Lipschitz type conditions. In this setting the authors prove, under suitable assumptions, the existence and uniqueness for the initial value problem and some results on the convergence of the finite dimensional approximate minimizers to \( J(q)\). The theory established in the first part of the paper is applied to a non linear autonomous Volterra integral equation that appears in the modelization of heat flow in materials with memory.
