Let X be a Banach space with norm ∥ ⋅ ∥ . Let A : D ⁢ (A) ⊂ X → X be an (possibly unbounded) operator that generates a uniformly bounded holomorphic semigroup. Suppose that ε > 0 and T > 0 are two given constants. The backward parabolic equation of finding a function u : [ 0 , T ] → X satisfying u t + A ⁢ u = 0 , 0 < t < T , ∥ u ⁢ (T) - φ ∥ ⩽ ε , for φ in X, is regularized by the generalized Sobolev equation u α ⁢ t + A α ⁢ u α = 0 , 0 < t < T , u α ⁢ (T) = φ , where 0 < α < 1 and A α = A ⁢ (I + α ⁢ A b ) - 1 with b ⩾ 1 . Error estimates of the method with respect to the noise level are proved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The horizontally diagonalize and fit (HDF) method is proposed to solve the ill-posed Cauchy problem for the three-dimensional Poisson equation with data given on the part of the boundary (a continuation problem). The HDF method consists in discretization over horizontal variables and transformation of the system of differential equations to a diagonal form. This allows to uncouple the original three-dimensional continuation problem into a moderate number of one-dimensional problems in the vertical dimension. The problem size reduction can be carried taking into account the noise level, so that the number k of one-dimensional problems appears to be a regularization parameter. Our experiments show that HDF is applicable to large-scale problems and for n ≤ 2500 is significantly more efficient than Landweber iteration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider an inverse backward problem for a nonlinear singularly perturbed parabolic equation of the Burgers' type. We demonstrate how a method of asymptotic analysis of the direct problem allows developing a rather simple algorithm for solving the inverse problem in comparison with minimization of the cost functional. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigate the mathematical modeling of the 2D acoustic waves propagation, based on the conservation laws. The hyperbolic first-order system of partial differential equations is considered and solved by the method of S. K. Godunov. The inverse problem of reconstructing the density and the speed of sound of the medium is considered. We apply the gradient method to reconstruct the parameters of the medium. The gradient of the functional is obtained. Numerical results are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a new asymptotic-numerical approach to solving an inverse boundary value problem for a nonlinear singularly perturbed parabolic equation with time-periodic coefficients is proposed. An unknown boundary condition is reconstructed by using known additional information about the location of a moving front. An asymptotic analysis of the direct problem allows us to reduce the original inverse problem to that with a simpler numerical solution. Numerical examples demonstrate the efficiency of the method.

We introduce the concept of very weak solution to a Cauchy problem for elliptic equations. The Cauchy problem is regularized by a well-posed non-local boundary value problem whose solution is also understood in a very weak sense. A stable finite difference scheme is suggested for solving the non-local boundary value problem and then applied to stabilizing the Cauchy problem. Some numerical examples are presented for showing the efficiency of the method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The coefficient inverse problem for the acoustic equation is considered. We propose the method for reconstructing the density based on the N-approximation by the finite system of one-dimensional problems and the two-dimensional M. G. Krein approach. The two-dimensional analogue of the M. G. Krein approach is applied to reduce the non-linear inverse problem to a family of linear integral equations. We consider the fast algorithm for solving the relevant linear system, based on using the block-Toeplitz structure of the matrix. The algorithm applied to the M. G. Krein equation allows to obtain the solution of the whole family of the integral equations by solving only one linear system. Results of numerical calculations are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The coefficient inverse problem for the two-dimensional wave equation is solved. We apply the Gelfand-Levitan approach to transform the nonlinear inverse problem to a family of linear integral equations. We consider the Monte Carlo method for solving the Gelfand-Levitan equation. We obtain the estimation of the solution of the Gelfand-Levitan equation in one specific point, due to the properties of the method. That allows the Monte Carlo method to be more effective in terms of span cost, compared with regular methods of solving linear system. Results of numerical simulations are presented.

The inverse problem for the acoustic equation is considered. We propose a method of reconstruction of the density approximating 2D inverse acoustic problem by a finite system of one dimensional inverse acoustic problems. The 2D analogy of the Gel'fand--Levitan--Krein method is established. The inverse acoustic problem is formulated and the short outline of the history and development in this field are given in Section 1. In Section 2 we consider the 2D analogy of the Gel'fand--Levitan--Krein equation. The N-approximation of the Gel'fand--Levitan--Krein equation is obtained for inverse acoustic problem in Section 3. The numerical results are presented in Section 4. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
