A method is presented for reconstructing an unknown coefficient in a linear diffusion equation from measured data. This equation arises in the description of coastline evolution, and preliminary results are presented here. The unknown term may vary with both space and time, although time variation i

β¦ Synopsis
A method is derived for the reconstruction of a source term in a linear parabolic equation, describing seabed evolution over fairly large time scales. The approach is based upon inversion of the formal solution for the direct problem and assumes that data are available on a regular grid at successive time steps. The method is applied first to simulated data, both with and without additional random noise, and gives close agreement with the exact solution. It is then applied to measurements taken for a group of sandbanks near the East Coast of the United Kingdom, and preliminary results are presented.

## Abstract A mixed problem for the modified KdV equation in __Q__ = (0,1) Γ (0,β) where __a__(__t__)>0, is considered. No restriction on the sign of __d__(__t__) is imposed. We prove the existence and uniqueness of strong and weak global solutions as well as the exponential decay of solutions as
## Abstract We consider the blowup of solutions of the initial boundary value problem for a class of nonβlinear evolution equations with nonβlinear damping and source terms. By using the energy compensation method, we prove that when __p__>max{__m__, __Ξ±__}, where __m__, __Ξ±__ and __p__ are nonβneg
## Communicated by M. Lachowicz We prove that a nonlinear evolution equation which comes from a model of an age-structured cell population endowed with general reproduction laws is well-posed.
