Regularization method for parabolic equation with variable operator
Consider the initial boundary value problem for the equationut=−L(t)u,u(1)=won an interval[0,1]fort>0, wherew(x)is a given function inL2(Ω)andΩis a bounded domain inℝnwith a smooth boundary∂Ω.Lis the unbounded, nonnegative operator inL2(Ω)corresponding to a selfadjoint, elliptic boundary value problem inΩwith zero Dirichlet data on∂Ω. The coefficients ofLare assumed to be smooth and dependent of time. It is well known that this problem is ill-posed in the sense that the solution does not depend continuously on the data. We impose a bound on the solution att=0and at the same time allow for some imprecision in the data. Thus we are led to the constrained problem. There is built an approximation solution, found error estimate for the applied method, given preliminary error estimates for the approximate method.
