We consider an inverse problem arising from an time-dependent driftdiffusion model in semiconductor devices, which is formulated in terms of a system of parabolic equations for the electron and hole densities and the Poisson equation for the electric potential. This inverse problem aims to identify the doping profile from the final overdetermination data of the electric potential. By using the ...

We consider an inverse parabolic problem. We prove that the heat radiative coefficient, the initial temperature and a boundary coefficient can be simultaneously determined from the final overdetermination, provided that the heat radiative coefficient is a priori known in a small subdomain. Moreover we establish a stability estimate for this inverse problem.

In this paper we obtain quantitative estimates of strong unique continuation for solutions to parabolic equations. We apply these results to prove stability estimates of logarithmic type for an inverse problem consisting in the determination of unknown portions of the boundary of a domain Ω in Rn, from the knowledge of overdetermined boundary data for parabolic boundary value problems.

A smoothing property in multistep backward difference method for a linear parabolic problem in Hilbert space has been proved, where the operator is selfadjoint, positive definite with compact inverse. By using the solutions computed by a multistep backward difference method for the parabolic problem, we introduce an approximation scheme for time derivative. The nonsmooth data error estimate for...

The problem of reconstructing the drift of a diffusion in R, d ≥ 2, from the transition probability density observed outside a domain is considered. The solution of this problem also solves a new inverse problem for a class of parabolic partial differential equations. This work considerably extends [2] in terms of generality, both concerning assumptions on the drift coefficient, and allowing fo...

the determination of an unknown boundary condition, in a nonlinaer inverse diffusion problem is considered. for solving these ill-posed inverse problems, galerkin method based on sinc basis functions for space and time will be used. to solve the system of linear equation, a noise is imposed and tikhonove regularization is applied. by using a sensor located at a point in the domain of $x$, say $...
