Applied Mathematics Lab (Partial Differential Equations, Inverse Problems) (Yikan Liu)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies inverse problems, which seek causes from observations.

AboutAbout the lab
Tracing causes back from results, through equations.
The Liu Lab studies the theory of partial differential equations and inverse problems in the field of applied mathematics.
The lab deals with problems of determining, from observed data, the causes of a phenomenon and the unknown values in an equation.
It investigates fractional-order diffusion equations and models of viscoelastic materials, together with their applications to medicine, environmental science, materials science, and other fields.
Key terms
- Inverse problem
- A problem of determining the cause of an observed result, or unknown values in an equation, from the observation
- Fractional-order diffusion equation
- An equation that extends the order of the time derivative to non-integer values, describing slow (anomalous) diffusion
- Viscoelastic material
- A material, like starch syrup, that has both stickiness (viscosity) and spring-like elasticity
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the theory of partial differential equations and inverse problems. It works on fractional-order diffusion equations and models of viscoelastic materials.
