We consider the problem of estimating the density of buyers and vendors in a nonlinear parabolic price formation model using measurements of the price and the transaction rate. Our approach is based on a work by Puel et al., see cite{Puel2002}, and results in a optimal control problem. We analyse this problems and provide stability estimates for the controls as well as the unknown density in the presence of measurement errors. Our analytic findings are supported with numerical experiments.
The aim of this paper is to further develop mathematical models for bleb formation in cells, including cell-membrane interactions with linker proteins. This leads to nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations on a surface coupled to fluid dynamics in the bulk. We provide a detailed mathematical analysis and investigate some singular limits of the model, connecting it to previous literature. Moreover, we provide numerical simulations in different scenarios, confirming that the model can reproduce experimental results on bleb initation.
