P. Duchateau, MONOTONICITY AND INVERTIBILITY OF COEFFICIENT-TO-DATA MAPPINGS FOR PARABOLIC INVERSE PROBLEMS, SIAM journal on mathematical analysis, 26(6), 1995, pp. 1473-1487
This paper considers the coefficient-to-data mappings associated with
unknown coefficient inverse problems for nonlinear parabolic partial d
ifferential equations. Integral identities are derived that show the c
oefficient-to-data mapping is monotone and invertible in the case of a
single unknown coefficient and the mapping is invertible in the case
of simultaneous determination of two unknown coefficients.
