AbstractThe authors consider in this paper the inverse problem of finding a pair of functions (u, p) such thatwhere F, f, E, s, αi, βi, γi, gi, i = 1, 2, are given functions.The existence and uniqueness of a smooth global solution pair (u, p) which depends continuously upon the data are demonstrated under certain assumptions on the data.

This study presents numerical schemes for solving a parabolic partial differential equation with a time- or space-dependent coefficient subject to an extra measurement. Through the extra measurement, the inverse problem is transformed into an equivalent nonlinear equation which is much simpler to handle. By the variational iteration method, we obtain the exact solution and the unknown coefficients. The results of numerical experiments and stable experiments imply that the variational iteration method is very suitable to solve these inverse problems.

The characterisation of those shapes that can be made by the gravity sag-bending manufacturing process used to produce car windscreens and lenses is modelled as an inverse problem in linear plate theory. The corresponding second-order partial differential equation for the Young's modulus is shown to change type (possibly several times) for certain target shapes. We consider the implications of this behaviour for the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the inverse problem for some frame geometries. In particular, we show that no general boundary conditions for the inverse problem can be prescribed if it is desired to achieve certain kinds of target shapes.

On replacing the parameter n in Bessel's differential equation1.1by the operator y(∂/∂y), the partial differential equation Lu = 0 is constructed, where1.2This operator annuls u(x, y) = v(x)yn if, and only if, v(x) satisfies (1.1) and hence is a cylindrical function of order n. Thus every generating function of a set of cylindrical functions is a solution of Lu = 0.It is shown in § 2 that the partial differential equation Lu = 0 is invariant under a three-parameter Lie group. This group is then applied to the systematic determination of generating functions for Bessel functions, following the methods employed in two previous papers (4; 5).

We consider the initial-boundary value problem for the parabolic partial differential equation1.1in the bounded domain D, contained in the upper half of the xy-plane, where a part of the x-axis lies on the boundary B(see Fig.1).
