(non)uniqueness of critical points in variational data assimilation
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2356869
Abstract: In this paper we apply the 4D-Var data assimilation scheme to the initialization problem for a family of quasilinear evolution equations. The resulting variational problem is non-convex, so it need not have a unique minimizer. We comment on the implications of non-uniqueness in numerical applications, then prove uniqueness results in the following situations: 1) the observational times are all sufficiently small; 2) the prior covariance is sufficiently small. We also give an example of a data set where the cost functional has a critical point of arbitrarily large Morse index.
