the methods applied to regularization of the ill-posed problems can be classified under “direct” and “indirect” methods. practice has shown that the effects of different regularization techniques on an ill-posed problem are not the same, and as such each ill-posed problem requires its own investigation in order to identify its most suitable regularization method. in the geoid computations witho...

We show that point-neuron models with a Heaviside firing rate function can be ill posed. More specifically, the initial-condition-to-solution map might become discontinuous in finite time. Consequently, if finite precision arithmetic is used, then it is virtually impossible to guarantee the accurate numerical solution of such models. If a smooth firing rate function is employed, then standard O...

Several thermomechanical models have been proposed from a heuristic point of view. A mathematical analysis should help to clarify the applicability of these models, among those recent thermal or viscoelastic models. Single-phase-lag and dual-phase-lag heat conduction models can be interpreted as formal expansions of delay equations. The delay equations are shown to be ill-posed, as are the form...
