    Smoothness dependent stability in corrosion detection

    No full text
    We consider the stability issue for the determination of a linear corrosion in a conductor by a single electrostatic measurement. We established a global log–log type stability when the corroded boundary is simply Lipschitz. We also improve such a result obtaining a global log stability by assuming that the damaged boundary is C1,1-smooth

    Wave equation with Robin condition, quantitative estimates of strong unique continuation at the boundary

    Full text link
    The main result of the present paper consists in a quanti- tative estimate of unique continuation at the boundary for solutions to the wave equation. Such estimate is the sharp quantitative counterpart of the following strong unique continuation property: let u be a solution to the wave equation that satisfies an homogeneous Robin condition on a portion S of the boundary and the restriction of u on S is flat on a segment \{0\} \times J with 0 \in S then u|S vanishes in a neighbourhood of \{0\} \times J

    Non-Singular Method of Fundamental Solutions based on Laplace decomposition for 2D Stokes flow problems

    No full text
    In this paper, a solution of Two-Dimensional (2D) Stokes flow problem, subject to Dirichlet and fluid traction boundary conditions, is developed based on the Non-singular Method of Fundamental Solutions (NMFS). The Stokes equation is decomposed into three coupled Laplace equations for modified components of velocity, and pressure. The solution is based on the collocation of boundary conditions at the physical boundary by the fundamental solution of Laplace equation. The singularities are removed by smoothing them on disks around them. The derivatives on the boundary in the singular points are calculated through simple reference solutions. In NMFS, no artificial boundary is needed, as in the classical Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS). Numerical examples include driven cavity flow on a square, analytically solvable solution on a circle and channel flow on a rectangle. The accuracy of the results is assessed by comparison with the MFS solution, and analytical solutions. The main advantage of the approach is its simple, boundary only meshless character of the computations, and possibility of straightforward extension of the approach to Three-Dimensional (3D) problems, moving boundary problems and inverse problems

    Solving elliptic Cauchy problems and the identification of nonlinear corrosion

    No full text
    We deal with an inverse problem arising in corrosion detection. The presence of corrosion damage is modeled by a nonlinear boundary condition on the inaccessible portion of the metal specimen. We propose a method for the approximate reconstruction of such a nonlinearity. A crucial step of this procedure, which encapsulates the major cause of the ill-posedness of the problem, consists of the solution of a Cauchy problem for an elliptic equation. For this purpose we propose an SVD approach

    Logarithmic convergence rates for the identification of a nonlinear Robin coefficient

    No full text
    We consider the identification of a nonlinear corrosion profile from single voltage boundary data and show injectivity of the parameter-to-output map. We demonstrate that Tikhonov regularization can be applied in order to solve the inverse problem in a stable manner despite the presence of noisy data. In combination with a logarithmic stability estimate for the underlying Cauchy problem, rates for the convergence of the regularized solutions are proven using a source condition that does not involve the Fréchet derivative of the parameter-to-output map. We present sufficient conditions for the existence of a source function and illustrate our approach by means of numerical example
