On Some Features of the Numerical Solving of Coefficient Inverse Problems for an Equation of the Reaction-Diffusion-Advection-Type with Data on the Position of a Reaction Front

Abstract

The work continues a series of articles devoted to the peculiarities of solving coefficient inverse problems for nonlinear singularly perturbed equations of the reaction-diffusion-advection-type with data on the position of the reaction front. In this paper, we place the emphasis on some problems of the numerical solving process. One of the approaches to solving inverse problems of the class under consideration is the use of methods of asymptotic analysis. These methods, under certain conditions, make it possible to construct the so-called reduced formulation of the inverse problem. Usually, a differential equation in this formulation has a lower dimension/order with respect to the differential equation, which is included in the full statement of the inverse problem. In this paper, we consider an example that leads to a reduced formulation of the problem, the solving of which is no less a time-consuming procedure in comparison with the numerical solving of the problem in the full statement. In particular, to obtain an approximate numerical solution, one has to use the methods of the numerical diagnostics of the solution’s blow-up. Thus, it is demonstrated that the possibility of constructing a reduced formulation of the inverse problem does not guarantee its more efficient solving. Moreover, the possibility of constructing a reduced formulation of the problem does not guarantee the existence of an approximate solution that is qualitatively comparable to the true one. In previous works of the authors, it was shown that an acceptable approximate solution can be obtained only for sufficiently small values of the singular parameter included in the full statement of the problem. However, the question of how to proceed if the singular parameter is not small enough remains open. The work also gives an answer to this question.

Modeling the Dynamics of Negative Mutations for a Mouse Population and the Inverse Problem of Determining Phenotypic Differences in the First Generation

“…Despite the small amount of known data, we managed to make an assumption regarding the time of the mutations' accumulation to a number sufficient for the appearance of visible differences in individuals in the mouse population and found that the initial set of mice in the experiment described in [22] already consisted of at least two phenotypically different groups of mice. This result was possible thanks to the active development of methods for solving coefficient inverse problems for partial differential equations with data on curves inside the domain (see [34][35][36][37][38][39]).…”

General Exact Schemes for Second-Order Linear Differential Equations Using the Concept of Local Green Functions

“…The second research area is the inverse problems involving second-order differential equations, which are also non-linear mathematical problems [18]. Still, compared to the classical differential equation solvers, they require a completely different handling, since the functions to be determined are the coefficients of the differential equation [19][20][21]. All these research activities are supported by a solid foundation in exact schemes, which, as effective and robust mathematical methods, provide new perspectives for basic research.…”

On Finite-Time Blow-Up Problem for Nonlinear Fractional Reaction Diffusion Equation: Analytical Results and Numerical Simulations

“…Fractional operators and corresponding differential and integral equations are often chosen because of the memory effects provided by their analytical properties [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, when it comes to a mathematical problem, the solution is derived from a real model, the theoretical results of which are often not directly applicable to the given problem.…”
