in this paper, a nonlinear inverse problem of parabolic type, is considered. by reducing this inverse problem to a system of volterra integral equations the existence, uniqueness, and stability of the solution will be shown.

where A is some set of multiindices α. A first crucial question is whether there is enough data to (uniquely) find f . Let u0 be a function in the Sobolev space H(Ω) with zero Cauchy data u0 = ∂νu0 = 0 on Γ0 and let f0 = −∆u0. Due to linearity, −∆(u+ u0) = f + f0. Obviously, u and u+ u0 have the same Cauchy data on Γ0, so f and f+f0 produce the same data (2), but they are different in Ω. It is ...

Nonnegative matrices have long been a sorce of interesting and challenging mathematical problems. They are real matrices with all their entries being nonnegative and arise in a num‐ ber of important application areas: communications systems, biological systems, economics, ecology, computer sciences, machine learning, and many other engineering systems. Inverse eigenvalue problems constitute an ...

1 Introduction The inverse spectral problem on a Riemannian manifold (M, g), possibly with boundary, is to determine as much as possible of the geometry of (M, g) from the spectrum of its Laplacian ∆ g (with some given boundary conditions). The special inverse problem of Kac is to determine a Euclidean domain Ω ⊂ R n up to isometry from the spectrum Spec B (Ω) of its Laplacian ∆ B with Dirichle...

‎in this paper‎, ‎a numerical procedure for an inverse problem of‎ ‎simultaneously determining an unknown coefficient in a semilinear ‎parabolic equation subject to the specification of the solution at‎ ‎an internal point along with the usual initial boundary conditions ‎is considered‎. ‎the method consists of expanding the required‎ ‎approximate solution as the elements of the inverse quadrati...

Stereology is the part of imaging science in which the three-dimensional structure of a body is determined from two-dimensional views. Although it is relatively easy to determine volume information from 2-D slices, it is nontrivial in general to determine other physical properties such as internal surface areas unless the medium is known to have some simple symmetry such as isotropy. For this r...

Let F be a family of subsets of the ground set [n] = {1, 2, . . . , n}. For each i ∈ [n] we let p(F , i) be the number of pairs of subsets that differ in the element i and exactly one of them is in F . We interpret p(F , i) as the influence of that element. The normalized Banzhaf vector of F , denoted B(F), is the vector (B(F , 1), . . . , B(F , n)), where B(F , i) = p(F ,i) p(F) and p(F) is th...

We study the complexity of telling whether a set of bit-vectors represents the set of all satisfying truth assignments of a Boolean expression of a certain type. We show that the problem is coNP-complete when the expression is required to be in conjunctive normal form with three literals per clause (3CNF). We also prove a dichotomy theorem analogous to the classical one by Schaefer, stating tha...
