A simultaneous reconstruction of the initial condition and the space-dependent reaction coefficient in a multidimensional hyperbolic partial differential equation with interior degeneracy is of concern. A temporal integral observation is utilized to achieve that purpose. The well-posedness, existence, and uniqueness of the inverse problem under consideration are discussed. The inverse problem can be reformulated as a least squares minimization and the Fréchet gradients are determined, using the adjoint and sensitivity problems. Finally, an iterative construction procedure is developed by employing the conjugate gradient algorithm while invoking the discrepancy principle as a stopping criterion. Some numerical experiments are given to ensure the performance of the reconstruction scheme in one and two dimensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we are interested in some theoretical and numerical studies of a special case of a degenerate nonlinear Schrödinger equation namely the so-called Gross-Pitaevskii Equation(GPE). More precisely, we will treat in a first time the well-posedness of GPE model with a degeneracy occurring in the interior of the space variable domain, i.e ∃x0 ∈ (0, L), s. t k(x0) = 0, where k stands for the diffusion coefficient and L is a positive constant. Thereafter, we will focus ourselves on some numerical simulations showing the influence of a different parameters, especially the interior degeneracy, on the behavior of the wave solution corresponding to our model in a special case of the function k namely k(x) = |x − x0| α, α ∈ (0, 1).

In this article we consider the fourth-order operators A1u:= (au")" and A2u:= au"" in divergence and non divergence form, where a: [0, 1] → R+ degenerates in an interior point of the interval. Using the semigroup technique, under suitable assumptions on a, we study the generation property of these operators associated to generalized Wentzell boundary conditions. We prove the well posedness of the corresponding parabolic problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we study the null controllability of population model with an interior degenerate diffusion. To this end, we proved first a new Carleman estimate for the full adjoint system and then we deduce a suitable observability inequality which will be needed to establish the existence of a control acting on a subset of the space which lead the population to extinction in a finite time.

We study the null controllability problem for linear degenerate parabolic systems with one control force through Carleman estimates for the associated adjoint problem. The novelty of this article is that for the first time it is considered a problem with an interior degeneracy and a control set that only requires to contain an interval lying on one side of the degeneracy points. The obtained result improves and complements a number of earlier works. As a consequence, observability inequalities are established.

In this article, we study an inverse problem for linear degenerate parabolic systems with one force. We establish Lipschitz stability for the source term from measurements of one component of the solution at a positive time and on a subset of the space domain, which contains degeneracy points. The key ingredient is the derivation of a Carleman-type estimate.

We consider a parabolic problem with degeneracy in the interior of the spatial domain, and we focus on Carleman estimates for the associated adjoint problem. The novelty of interior degeneracy does not let us adapt previous Carleman estimates to our situation. As an application, observability inequalities are established.

We consider non-smooth general degenerate/singular parabolic equations in non-divergence form with degeneracy and singularity occurring in the interior of the spatial domain, in presence of Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. In particular, we consider well posedness of the problem and then we prove Carleman estimates for the associated adjoint problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
