Convexification for an Inverse Parabolic Problem


Abstract in English

A convexification-based numerical method for a Coefficient Inverse Problem for a parabolic PDE is presented. The key element of this method is the presence of the so-called Carleman Weight Function in the numerical scheme. Convergence analysis ensures the global convergence of this method, as opposed to the local convergence of the conventional least squares minimization techniques. Numerical results demonstrate a good performance.
