Abstract

In this paper we prove a logarithmic stability estimate in the whole domain for the solution to the heat equation with a source term and lateral Cauchy data. We also prove its optimality up to the exponent of the logarithm and show an application to the identification of the initial condition and to the convergence rate of the quasi-reversibility method.

Highlights

  • This paper deals with the ill-posed problem of finding the solution to the heat equation from a source term and lateral Cauchy data

  • Problems such as (1) arise in the framework of inverse problems related to the heat equation, where f = 0 and the data (g0, g1) correspond to measurements on the accessible part Γ0 of the boundary of Ω

  • We show that the Main Theorem enables us to estimate the initial condition and to obtain a convergence rate for the method of quasi-reversibility
