A regularization method for solving a nonlinear backward inverse heat conduction problem using discrete mollification method

The present essay scrutinizes the application of discrete mollification as a filtering procedure to solve a nonlinear backward inverse heat conduction problem in one dimensional space. These problems are seriously ill-posed. So, we combine discrete mollification and space marching method to address the ill-posedness of the proposed problem. Moreover, a proof of stability and<b...

A Nonlinear Optimization Problem in Heat Conduction

In this paper we study the existence and geometric properties of an optimal configuration to a nonlinear optimization problem in heat conduction. The quantity to be minimized is R ∂D Γ(x, uμ)dσ, where D is a fixed domain. A nonconstant temperature distribution is prescribed on ∂D and a volume constraint on the set where the temperature is positive is imposed. Among other regularity properties o...

Approximate Solution of the Nonlinear Heat Conduction Equation in a Semi-Infinite Domain

We use an approximation method to study the solution to a nonlinear heat conduction equation in a semi-infinite domain. By expanding an energy density function defined as the internal energy per unit volume as a Taylor polynomial in a spatial domain, we reduce the partial differential equation to a set of first-order ordinary differential equations in time. We describe a systematic approach to ...
