Abstract:
We consider the well-posedness, in Sobolev spaces, of the inverse problem of recovering the heat transfer coefficient at the interface in the transmission condition of the imperfect contact type. The existence and uniqueness theorem are exhibited. The method is constructive and the approach allows us to develop some numerical methods for solving the problem. The proof relies on a priori estimates and the fixed-point theorem.
Keywords:inverse problem, transmission problem, heat transfer coefficient, parabolic equation, heat and mass transfer.
