Description
This is the first book dedicated to applying the Carleman estimates to coefficient inverse problems. Written in a readable and concise manner, the book introduces the reader to the essence of the method of Carleman estimates, which is one of the most powerful tools for the mathematical treatment of coefficient inverse problems. The core of the book is two most recent advances of the authors. These are the global uniqueness of a multidimensional coefficient inverse problem for a nonlinear parabolic equation and the so-called convexification framework for constructing globally convergent algorithms for a broad class of inverse problems. Several applications of the convexification to magnetotelluric frequency sounding, electrical impedance tomography, infra-red optical sensing of biotissies, and time reversal are considered.
