Identification of thermal expansion coefficient in a thermoelastic plate from final time-measured displacement

We investigate a coupled thermoelastic plate system consisting of a fourth-order displacement equation and a heat evolution equation linked through a spatially varying coupling factor $\alpha(x)$. The model accounts for thermoelastic interactions through the operators $\operatorname{div}(\alpha(x)\nabla \theta)$ and $\operatorname{div}(\alpha(x)\nabla u_t)$. We establish the well-posedness of the direct problem under homogeneous Neumann conditions for $u$ and Dirichlet conditions for $\theta$, deriving optimal energy estimates and demonstrating continuous dependence of solutions on the given data. We further introduce an input-output operator corresponding to the considered inverse problem and show that it is compact and Lipschitz continuous, confirming the ill-posed nature of the associated inverse problem. Using these properties, the inverse problem is formulated as a minimization problem for the Tikhonov functional, and we establish the existence of a minimizer.

Reconstruction of source function in a parabolic equation using partial boundary measurements

In this paper, we present the analytical and numerical study of the optimization approach for determining the space-dependent source function in the parabolic inverse source problem using partial boundary measurements. The Lagrangian approach for the solution of the optimization problem is presented, and optimality conditions are derived. The proof of the Fr\'echet differentiability of the regularized Tikhonov functional and the existence result for the solution of the inverse source problem are established. A local stability estimate for the unknown source term is also presented. The numerical examples justify the theoretical investigations using the conjugate gradient method (CGM) in 2D and 3D tests with noisy data.

Inverse Problems of Identifying the Unknown Transverse Shear Force in the Euler-Bernoulli Beam with Kelvin-Voigt Damping

In this paper, we study the inverse problems of determining the unknown transverse shear force $g(t)$ in a system governed by the damped Euler-Bernoulli equation $ρ(x)u_{tt}+μ(x)u_t+ (r(x)u_{xx})_{xx}+ (κ(x)u_{xxt})_{xx}=0, ~(x,t)\in (0,\ell)\times(0,T],$ subject to the boundary conditions $u(0,t) =0$, $u_{x}(0,t)=0$, $\left[r(x)u_{xx}+κ(x)u_{xxt}\right]_{x=\ell} =0$, $-\left[\big(r(x)u_{xx}+κ(x)u_{xxt}\big)_{x}\right]_{x=\ell}=g(t)$, $t\in [0,T]$, from the measured deflection $ν(t):=u(\ell,t)$, $t \in [0,T]$, and from the bending moment $ω(t):=-\left( r(0)u_{xx}(0,t)+κ(0)u_{xxt}(0,t) \right)$, $t \in [0,T]$, where the terms $(κ(x)u_{xxt})_{xx}$ and $μ(x)u_t$ account for the Kelvin-Voigt damping and external damping, respectively. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the Kelvin-Voigt damping effect on determining the unknown transverse shear force (boundary input) through the given boundary measurements. The inverse problems are transformed into minimization problems for Tikhonov functionals, and it is shown that the regularized functionals admit unique solutions for the inverse problems. By suitable regularity on the admissible class of shear force $g(t),$ we prove that these functionals are Fréchet differentiable, and the derivatives are expressed through the solutions of corresponding adjoint problems posed with measured data as boundary data associated with the direct problem. The solvability of these adjoint problems is obtained under the minimal regularity of the boundary data $g(t)$, which turns out to be the regularizing effect of the Kelvin-Voigt damping in the direct problem.

Dynamic Programming of Stochastic 2-D Navier-Stokes Equations Forced by Levy Noise

In this article, we study optimal feedback control synthesis of stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equations perturbed Levy type noise with distributed stochastic control process acting on the state equation. We use the dynamic programming approach to solve this control problem which involves the study of second order infinite dimensional Hamilton- Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation consisting of an integro-differential operator with Levy measure associated with the stochastic control problem. Using the regularizing properties of the transition semigroup corresponding to the stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equation, we obtain a smooth solution in weighted function space for the HJB equation and solve the resultant feedback control problem.

Dynamic Programming of Stochastic Burgers Equation Driven by Levy Noise

In this work, we study the optimal control of stochastic Burgers equation perturbed by Gaussian and Levy type noises with distributed control process acting on the state equation. We use the dynamic programming approach for the second order Hamilton-Jacobi- Bellman (HJB) equation consisting of an integro-differential operator with Levy measure associated with the stochastic control problem. Using the regularizing properties of the transition semigroup corresponding to the stochastic Burgers equation and compactness arguments, we solve the HJB equation and the resultant feedback control problem.
