Extreme Methods for Solving Ill-Posed Problems With Applications to Inverse Heat Transfer Problems

Translated from Russian, this monograph is based on the authors' studies investigating a promising trend in the theory of ill-posed problems, namely iterative regularization and its application to inverse heat transfer problems. The volume's six sections cover identification and inverse problems in the studies of thermophysical processes; iterative regularization of ill-posed problems; construction of gradient algorithms for solving inverse heat transfer problems; iterative solution of boundary inverse heat conduction problems; algorithms for solving coefficient inverse problems; and design of experiments for solving inverse heat conduction problems.
