in this paper, we consider an inverse problem of linear heat equation with nonlinear boundary condition. we identify the temperature and the unknown radiation tern from an overspecified condition on the boundary

When an inverse problem can be formulated so the data are minima of one of the variational problems of mathematical physics, feasibility constraints can be found for the nonlinear inversion problem. These constraints guarantee that optimal solutions of the inverse problem lie in the convex feasible region of the model space. Furthermore, points on the boundary of this convex region can be found...

in this paper, an optimization problem with a linear objective function subject to a consistent finite system of fuzzy relation inequalities using the max-product composition is studied. since its feasible domain is non-convex, traditional linear programming methods cannot be applied to solve it. we study this problem and capture some special characteristics of its feasible domain and optimal s...

this paper describes an efficient edge-preserved regularization algorithm for downward continuation of magnetic data in detection of unexploded ordnance (uxo). the magnetic anomalies arising from multi-source uxo can overlap at a height over the ground surface, while causative sources may not be readily separated due to low level of signal-to-noise ratio of the observed data. to effectively the...

time-delays are important components of many dynamical systems that describe coupling or interconnection between dynamics, propagation or transport phenomena, and heredity and competition in population dynamics. the stabilization with time delay in observation or control represents difficult mathematical challenges in the control of distributed parameter systems. it is well-known that the stabi...

in this paper, an iterative method is proposed for solving the matrix inverse problem $ax=b$ for hermitian-generalized hamiltonian matrices with a submatrix constraint. by this iterative method, for any initial matrix $a_0$, a solution $a^*$ can be obtained in finite iteration steps in the absence of roundoff errors, and the solution with least norm can be obtained by choosing a special kind of...

Aperture-based inverse planning (ABIP) for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning starts with external radiation fields (beams) that fully conform to the target(s) and then superimposes sub-fields called segments to achieve complex shaping of 3D dose distributions. The segments’ intensities are determined by solving a feasibility problem. The least-intensity feasible (L...
