Carleman estimates for the heat equation with discontinuous diffusion coefficients
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the heat equation with a diffusion coefficient that is discontinuous at an interface. We give global Carleman estimates for solutions of this equation, even if the jump of the coefficient across the interface has not a constant sign. AMS classification scheme numbers: 35K05, 35K55, 35R05, 35R30

Uniqueness and Hölder stability of discontinuous diffusion coefficients in three related inverse problems for the heat equation
We consider the heat equation ∂ty − div(c∇y) = H with a discontinuous coefficient in three connected situations. We give uniqueness and stability results for the diffusion coefficient c(·) in the main case from measurements of the solution on an arbitrary part of the boundary and at a fixed time in the whole spatial domain. The diffusion coefficient is assumed to be discontinuous across an unkn...
متن کاملStability of Discontinuous Diffusion Coefficients and Initial Conditions in an Inverse Problem for the Heat Equation
We consider the heat equation with a discontinuous diffusion coefficient and give uniqueness and stability results for both the diffusion coefficient and the initial condition from a measurement of the solution on an arbitrary part of the boundary and at some arbitrary positive time. The key ingredient is the derivation of a Carleman-type estimate. The diffusion coefficient is assumed to be dis...
متن کاملInverse Problem for a Coupled Parabolic System with Discontinuous Conductivities: One-dimensional Case
We study the inverse problem of the simultaneous identification of two discontinuous diffusion coefficients for a one-dimensional coupled parabolic system with the observation of only one component. The stability result for the diffusion coefficients is obtained by a Carleman-type estimate. Results from numerical experiments in the one-dimensional case are reported, suggesting that the method m...
متن کاملCarleman estimates for semi-discrete parabolic operators with a discontinuous diffusion coefficient and application to controllability
In the discrete setting of one-dimensional finite-differences we prove a Carleman estimate for a semi-discretization of the parabolic operator ∂t − ∂x(c∂x) where the diffusion coefficient c has a jump. As a consequence of this Carleman estimate, we deduce consistent nullcontrollability results for classes of semi-linear parabolic equations.
متن کاملA High Order Approximation of the Two Dimensional Acoustic Wave Equation with Discontinuous Coefficients
This paper concerns with the modeling and construction of a fifth order method for two dimensional acoustic wave equation in heterogenous media. The method is based on a standard discretization of the problem on smooth regions and a nonstandard method for nonsmooth regions. The construction of the nonstandard method is based on the special treatment of the interface using suitable jump conditio...
