The problem is to find a(t) y w(x; t) such that wt = a(t) (wx)x+r(x; t) under the initial condition w(x; 0) =fi(x) and the boundary conditions w(0; t) = 0 ; wx(0; t) = wx(1; t)+alfa w(1; t) about a region D ={(x; t); 0 <x < 1; t >0}. In addition it must be fulfilled the integral of w (x, t) with respect to x is equal to E(t) where fi(x) , r(x; t) and E(t) are known functions and alfa is an arbitrary real number other than zero.The objective is to solve the problem as an application of the inverse moment problem. We will find an approximated solution and bounds for the error of the estimated solution using the techniques on moments problem. In addition, the method is illustrated with several examples.

AbstractThe problem of determining the initial condition in parabolic equations from boundary observations is studied. It is reformulated as a variational problem and then a formula for the gradient of the functional to be minimized is derived via an adjoint problem. The variational problem is discretized by finite difference splitting methods and solved by the conjugate gradient method. Some numerical examples are presented to show the efficiency of the method. Also as a by-product of the variational method, we propose a numerical scheme for numerically estimating singular values of the solution operator in the inverse problem.

Existence and uniqueness are proved for nonlocal (in time) for solutions of linear parabolic partial differential equations. Instead of an initial condition, there is a relation connecting the initial value to values of the solution at other times. L2 error estimates are obtained for the semidiscrete approximation of the problem using finite elements in the space variables.
