Inverse Problem for an Equation of the Reaction-Diffusion-Advection Type with Data on the Position of a Reaction Front: Features of the Solution in the Case of a Nonlinear Integral Equation in a Reduced Statement.

The paper considers the features of numerical reconstruction of the advection coefficient when solving the coefficient inverse problem for a nonlinear singularly perturbed equation of the reaction-diffusion-advection type. Information on the position of a reaction front is used as data of the inverse problem. An important question arises: is it possible to obtain a mathematical connection between the unknown coefficient and the data of the inverse problem? The methods of asymptotic analysis of the direct problem help to solve this question. But the reduced statement of the inverse problem obtained by the methods of asymptotic analysis contains a nonlinear integral equation for the unknown coefficient. The features of its solution are discussed. Numerical experiments demonstrate the possibility of solving problems of such class using the proposed methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
