Let
\[\Omega\]
be a bounded domain of
\[\mathbb R^n\]
,
\[n\geq2\]
, and fix
\[Q=(0,T)\times\Omega\]
with
\[T>0\]
. We consider the inverse problem of determining (in some suitable sense) a function
\[q\in L^\infty(Q)\]
and a vector valued function
\[A\in L^\infty(Q;\mathbb R^n)\]
appearing in a Dirichlet initial-boundary value problem for the parabolic equation
\[\partial_tu-\Delta_xu+A(t,x)\cdot
\triangledown_xu+q(t,x)u=0\]
in
\[Q\]
, from observations on
\[(0,T)\times\partial\Omega\]
. We consider both results of uniqueness and stability for this problem. Moreover, we apply our result to the recovery of some nonlinear term appearing in a parabolic equation from boundary measurements. This talk is based on a joint work with Mourad Choulli and some work in progress with Pedro Caro.
