This chapter describes the construction of a resolvent operator using the Laplace transform of a parametrix for the heat kernel and a perturbative argument. In the equation (μ‎-L) R(μ‎) f = f, R(μ‎) is a right inverse for (μ‎-L). In Hölder spaces, these are the natural elliptic estimates for generalized Kimura diffusions. The chapter first constructs the resolvent kernel using an induction over the maximal codimension of bP, and proves various estimates on it, along with corresponding estimates for the solution operator for the homogeneous Cauchy problem. It then considers holomorphic semi-groups and uses contour integration to construct the solution to the heat equation, concluding with a discussion of Kimura diffusions where all coefficients have the same leading homogeneity.

AbstractThe abstract Cauchy problem on scales of Banach space was considered by many authors. The goal of this paper is to show that the choice of the space on scale is significant. We prove a theorem that the selection of the spaces in which the Cauchy problem ut − Δu = u|u|s with initial–boundary conditions is considered has an influence on the selection of index s. For the Cauchy problem connected with the heat equation we will study how the change of the base space influents the regularity of the solutions.

AbstractLet H be a norm of {\mathbb{R}^{N}} and {H_{0}} the dual norm of H. Denote by {\Delta_{H}} the Finsler–Laplace operator defined by {\Delta_{H}u:=\operatorname{div}(H(\nabla u)\nabla_{\xi}H(\nabla u))}. In this paper we prove that the Finsler–Laplace operator {\Delta_{H}} acts as a linear operator to {H_{0}}-radially symmetric smooth functions. Furthermore, we obtain an optimal sufficient condition for the existence of the solution to the Cauchy problem for the Finsler heat equation\partial_{t}u=\Delta_{H}u,\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^{N},\,t>0,where {N\geq 1} and {\partial_{t}:=\frac{\partial}{\partial t}}.

A numerical procedure for an inverse problem of identification of an unknown source in a heat equation is presented. Approach of proposed method is to approximate unknown function by polygons linear pieces which are determined consecutively from the solution of minimization problem based on the overspecified data. Numerical examples are presented.

International audience A numerical method for the computation of the magnetic flux in the vacuum surrounding the plasma in a Tokamak is investigated. It is based on the formulation of a Cauchy problem which is solved through the minimization of an energy error functional. Several numerical experiments are conducted which show the efficiency of the method.
