On the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the coefficient inverse problem for a semilinear parabolic equation

In this paper, we consider the problem of determining the source function and the coefficient by the derivative with respect to time in a semilinear parabolic equation with overdetermination conditions defined on two different hyperplanes. The existence and uniqueness theorems of the classical solution of the posed coefficient inverse problem in the class of smooth bounded functions were proved. An example of input data satisfying the conditions of the proved theorems is given.

On a Semilinear Parabolic Problem with Four-Point Boundary Conditions

This paper studies a semilinear parabolic equation in 1D along with nonlocal boundary conditions. The value at each boundary point is associated with the value at an interior point of the domain, which is known as a four-point boundary condition. First, the solvability of a steady-state problem is addressed and a constructive algorithm for finding a solution is proposed. Combining this schema with the semi-discretization in time, a constructive algorithm for approximation of a solution to a transient problem is developed. The well-posedness of the problem is shown using the semigroup theory in C-spaces. Numerical experiments support the theoretical algorithms.
