On Some Methods to Solve Integrodifferential Inverse Problems of Parabolic Type

In this paper we give an overview on some methods that are useful to solve a class of integrodifferential inverse problems. Precisely, we present some methods to solve integrodifferential inverse problems of parabolic type that are based on the theory of analytic semigroups, optimal regularity results and fixed point arguments. A large class of physical models can be treated with this procedure, for example phase-field models, combustion models and the strongly damped wave equation with memory to mention some of them.

Keywords

integrodifferential inverse problems; analytic semigroups.
