Abstract
We study the backward problem for non-linear (semilinear) parabolic partial differential equations in Hilbert spaces. The problem is severely ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard. Under a weak a priori assumption on the exact solution, we propose a new Fourier truncated regularization method for stabilising the ill-posed problem. In comparison with previous studies on solving the nonlinear backward problem, our method shows a significant improvement.

1 Introduction
Let \(H\) be a Hilbert space with the inner product \(\langle. \rangle \) and the norm \(\|.\|\) and let \(A\) be a positive self-adjoint operator defined on a dense subspace \(D(A)\subset H\) such that \(-A\) generates a compact contractive semi-group \(\{S(t)\}_{t \ge0}\) on \(H\). We shall consider the backward problem of finding a function \(u:[0,T] \to H\) such that
where the data \(\varphi\) is given in \(H\) and the source function \(f\) will be defined later. In practice, the data \(\varphi\in H\) is noisy and is represented by the perturbed data \(\varphi^{\epsilon} \in H\) satisfying
where the constant \(\epsilon>0\) represents an upper bound on the measurement error. The problem (1) is not well-posed because its solution may not exist and, even if it exists, it does not depend continuously on the “noisy” Cauchy data \(\varphi^{\epsilon}\). Hence, a regularization process is required in order to obtain a stable solution.
The linear homogeneous case \(f=0\) has been studied in many papers, we refer to some interesting ones [1–4, 7, 9, 15, 18, 24]. Although there are many papers on the linear case of the backward parabolic problem, the nonlinear cases has been less investigated [8, 17, 21–23] and it is the purpose of this study to make advances into the semi-linear problem (1). First, the study of backward problem for parabolic are very close to those that have been developed in the context of controllability of parabolic problems. The issues there are also very close to that of solving the equation backwards, although often this appears as a technical preliminary step to deal with more general control problems. We note the reader to the paper [5] of E. Zuazua et al. which some explicit estimates on backward uniqueness for parabolic equations is investigated. The method in [5] can be applied to solve the backward problem and it is a future topic of our work. Next, we give some comments on the development of the backward in time nonlinear parabolic. To solve the nonlinear problem, M. Klibanov and his group apply the new ideas of Carleman estimates. The application of a powerful tool of Carleman estimates leads to much more general and powerful results not only for parabolic equations with backwards time but also for ill-posed Cauchy problems for both linear and quasilinear PDEs of the second order. The first general theory of applications of the quasireversibility method for the case of ill-posed Cauchy problems for linear equations can be found in Chap. 2 of [12]. Carleman estimates ensure Hölder convergence rates of regularized solutions, which is stronger than the logarithmic convergence rate which is in our paper. Moreover, in [11], the authors gave a new globally convergent numerical method for a wide class of ill-posed problems for quasilinear PDEs. Note that Carleman estimate of Lemma 5.3 of [10] combined with the scheme of Sect. 2 of [11] leads to the desired result for backward in time parabolic equation. Furthermore, numerical experiments for the method of [11] can be found in [13]. Therefore, the method of Carleman estimates given in [10–14].
In this paper, we don’t follow the above method. We give a new Fourier method for regularizing the nonlinear problem. The more details of our method can be investigated in next section.
2 Mathematical Analysis
In this paper, we assume that \(A \) admits an orthonormal eigenbasis \(\{ \phi_{n} \}_{n=1}^{\infty}\) in \(H\), associated with the eigenvalues \(\{\lambda_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\) such that
The source function \(f:[0,T] \times H \to H \) satisfies the global Lipschitz condition
for some constant \(K>0\) independent of \(t\), \(v_{1}\), \(v_{2}\). As shown in [22], a solution to problem (1) satisfies the following integral equation
where \(\varphi_{n}= \langle\varphi, \phi_{n} \rangle\), \(f_{n} (u) (s) = \langle f(s,u(s)), \phi_{n} \rangle\). In a few sentences, we present a brief introduction to the Fourier truncated method. From (4), it can be observed that \(e^{(T-t) \lambda_{n} }\) and \(e^{(s-t) \lambda_{n} }\) tend to infinity as \(n\) tends to infinity, so in order to guarantee the convergence of the solution \(u\) given by (4), the coefficient \(\varphi_{n}\) must decay rapidly. But such a decay usually cannot occur for the measured data \(\varphi^{\epsilon}\). Hence, a natural way is to eliminate the high frequencies and consider the solution \(u\) for \(\lambda_{n} \le M_{\epsilon}\), where \(M_{\epsilon}\) is a positive integer; this is the so-called Fourier truncated method, and \(M_{\epsilon}\) plays the role of a regularization parameter. In [17, 20, 22], the authors applied this method to establish a regularized solution of
where \(\varphi_{n}^{\epsilon}= \langle\varphi^{\epsilon}, \phi_{n} \rangle\), \(f_{n} (w^{\epsilon}) (s) = \langle f(s,w ^{\epsilon}(s)), \phi_{n} \rangle\). To get a stability estimate, they required the stronger condition on the exact solution \(u\)
This condition appears in some other papers, for example [6, 17, 19, 20]. One can further remark that there are not too many functions \(u\) which satisfy condition (6) and moreover, in practice, such condition is difficult to be checked. Motivated by this reason, in our study, we first develop a new Fourier truncated solution \(u^{\epsilon}\) by modifying the right-hand side of (5) as follows
where \(f_{n} (u^{\epsilon}) (s) = \langle f(s,u^{\epsilon}(s)), \phi_{n} \rangle\). To obtain the error estimate between the exact solution \(u\) and the regularized solution \(u^{\epsilon}\), we only require a weak assumption
or another condition
where \(E>0\) is a positive real number. Here \(H^{r}\), \(r\ge0\) is a Hilbert scale space defined by
It is obvious that our conditions (8) or (9) is much weaker than (6). To the best of our knowledge, there are not related references in which the Fourier truncated method was used to solve the semi-linear problem (1) under the assumption (8).
Our main results are stated in the two following theorem. In Theorem 1, we present a new Fourier method for solving the problem (1) in the case that
In Theorem 2, we establish another regularized solution for solving (1) for any \(K>0\).
Theorem 1
The problem (7) has a unique solution \(u^{\epsilon}\in C([0,T];H)\). Assume that problem (1) has a weak solution \(u \in C([0,T];H)\) which satisfies (8). Choose \(M_{\epsilon}>0\) such that \(\lim_{\epsilon\to0} M_{\epsilon}^{-1}= \lim_{\epsilon\to0} e^{T M_{\epsilon}} \epsilon=0\). Then we have the following estimate
where \(r \ge0\) and
for any \(0 < p < \frac{1}{K^{2}T^{2}}-1\).
Corollary 1
Let us choose \(M_{\epsilon}=\frac{1}{T+\alpha} \ln (\frac{1}{ \epsilon} )\) for \(\alpha>0\) then
Remark 1
In Theorem 1, our method has a drawback that the condition for \(K \in [0, \frac{1}{T})\) is still too strong which may restrict the class of equations. We are trying to remove this constraint in the next theorem.
Theorem 2
Assume that problem (1) has a weak solution \(u \in C([0,T];H)\) which satisfies (9). Let us define a sequence \(\{ T_{i} \}\), \(i=0,1,\ldots2m\) such that
where \(\overline{h}=\frac{1}{2m}\). Let \(m\) be a positive integer number such that \(m>KT\). We denote
Define the regularized solution \(\mathbf{U^{\epsilon}}\) as follows
and
Then, we have the error estimation
and
Here
with \(p_{0}\) is any number satisfies \(0< p_{0} < \frac{m^{2}}{T^{2}K^{2}}-1\).
3 Proof of Main Theorem
3.1 Proof of Theorem 1
The proof of Theorem 1 consists of two steps. In Step 1, we prove the existence and the uniqueness of a solution to problem (7). In Step 2, the error between the exact solution and the regularized solution is obtained.
Step 1. The existence and the uniqueness of a solution of (7).
Let us define on \(C([0, T];H) \) the following Bielecki norm
It is easy to show that \(\|.\|_{1}\) is a norm of \(C([0, T];H) \). For \(w \in C([0, T];H)\), we consider the following function
where \(f_{n} (w) (s) = \langle f(s,w(s)), \phi_{n} \rangle \). We shall prove that, for every \(w_{1},w_{2} \in C([0, T];H)\),
First, by using the Hölder inequality and (3), we have the following estimates for all \(t\in[0,T]\)
and
From the definition of \(J\) in (21), we have
Combining (23), (24), (25) and using the inequality \((a + b)^{2} \le(1 + m)a^{2} + ( 1 + \frac{1}{m} ) b^{2}\) for any real numbers \(a\), \(b\) and \(m>0\), we get the following estimate for all \(t \in(0,T)\)
By choosing \(m=\frac{T-t}{t}\), we obtain
On other hand, letting \(t=T\) in (24), we deduce
By letting \(t=0\) in (23), we have
Combining (27), (28) and (29), we obtain
which leads to (22). Since \(KT<1\), we can conclude that \(J\) is a contraction; by the Banach fixed point theorem, it follows that the equation \(J(w) = w\) has a unique solution \(w \in C([0, T];H)\).
Step 2. The error estimates between the exact solution \(u\) and the regularized solution \(u^{\epsilon}\).
From (4), a solution to problem (1) can be rewritten as
where we have used the equality \(\varphi_{n}= e^{-T \lambda_{n}} u _{n}(0)+ \int_{0}^{T} e^{(s-T)\lambda_{n}} f_{n}(u)(s)ds\). Subtracting (7) from (30) and taking the inner product in \(H\) yield the following estimate
Hence, using Parseval’s identity and the inequality \((c_{1}+c_{2}+c _{3})^{2} \le2 ( 1+\frac{1}{p} ) c_{1}^{2}+ 2 ( 1+ \frac{1}{p} ) c_{2}^{2}+(1+p)c_{3}^{2} \) for any real numbers \(c_{1}\), \(c_{2}\), \(c_{3}\) and \(p>0\) yields
Multiplying by \(e^{2tM_{\epsilon}} \) both sides and using (3), we obtain
Set \(Q(t)= e^{2tM_{\epsilon}} \|u^{\epsilon}(t)-u(t)\|^{2} \) for all \(t \in[0,T]\). Since \(u^{\epsilon}, u \in C([0, T];H) \), the function \(Q\) is continuous on \([0,T]\) and attains over there its maximum \(P\) at some point \(t_{0} \in[0,T]\). Therefore
Combining the latter estimate with (32), we deduce
Choosing \(t=t_{0}\) on the left-hand side of the latter inequality, we get
Or
Since \(0 < p < \frac{1}{K^{2}T^{2}}-1\), it follows that the left hand-side bracket is positive. This implies that for all \(t \in[0,T]\)
Hence
This completes the proof of the theorem.
3.2 Proof of Theorem 2
Now, we consider the following lemma
Lemma 1
Let \(0 \le T_{h} \le T_{p} \le T\). For \(\theta\in C([T_{h}, T_{p}];H)\), we consider the following function
Assume that \(K (T_{p}-T_{h}) <1\). Then Problem (39) has unique solution \(\mathbf{V}_{T_{h},T_{p}}^{\alpha(\epsilon)}(\theta ) \in C([T_{h}, T_{p}]; H)\).
Proof
The existence and uniqueness of solution of problem (39) is proved by a similar way as in theorem. Hence, we omit it here. Next, we prove the estimate between \(\mathbf{V}_{T_{h},T_{p}}^{\alpha(\epsilon )}(\theta)(t)\) and \(u(t)\). It is easy to see that
for all \(t \in[T_{h}, T_{p}]\). By a similar way, we get for all \(t \in[T_{h}, T_{p}]\)
Multiplying by \(e^{2(t-T_{h})\alpha(\epsilon)} \) both sides and using (3), we obtain
Set \(\overline{Q}(t)= e^{2(t-T_{h})\alpha(\epsilon)} \| {\mathbf {V}}_{T_{h},T_{p}}^{\alpha(\epsilon)}(\theta)(t)-u(t) \|^{2} \) for all \(t \in[T_{h},T_{p}]\). Since \(\mathbf{V}_{T_{h},T_{p}}^{\alpha (\epsilon)}(\theta)(t), u \in C([T_{h}, T_{p}];H) \), the function \(\overline{Q}\) is continuous on \([T_{h},T_{p}]\) and attains over there its maximum \(\overline{P}\) at some point \(t_{1} \in[T_{h},T_{p}]\). Therefore
From above observations, we obtain
Choosing \(t=t_{1}\) on the left-hand side of the latter inequality, we get
Since \(0 < p_{0} < \frac{1}{K^{2} (T_{p}-T_{h})^{2}}-1\), it follows that the left hand-side bracket is positive. This implies that for all \(t \in[T_{h},T_{p}]\)
Hence
This implies that
for all \(t \in[T_{h}, T_{p}]\). □
Now, we return the proof of Theorem 2.
