Abstract

We establish a Lipschitz stability estimate for the inverse problem consisting in the determination of the coefficient $\sigma(t)$, appearing in a Dirichlet initial-boundary value problem for the parabolic equation $\partial_tu-\Delta_x u+\sigma(t)f(x)u=0$, from Neumann boundary data. We extend this result to the same inverse problem when the previous linear parabolic equation is changed to the semi-linear parabolic equation $\partial_tu-\Delta_x u=F(x,t,\sigma(t),u(x,t))$.

Keywords: Parabolic equation, determination of time-depend coefficient, stability estimate., semi-linear parabolic equation, inverse problem.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 35R3.
