Abstract

Let D be an open set in Euclidean space IRm with boundary ∂D, and let ϕ[ratio ]∂D→[0, ∞) be a bounded, measurable function. Let u[ratio ]D∪∂D×[0, ∞)→[0, ∞) be the unique weak solution of the heat equation

with initial condition

and with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition

Then u(x; t) represents the temperature at a point x∈D at time t if D has initial temperature 0, while the temperature at a point x∈∂D is kept fixed at ϕ(x) for all t>0. We define the total heat content (or energy) in D at time t by

In this paper we wish to examine the effect of imposing additional cooling on some subset C on both u and ED.
