Dual extremum principles for the heat equation†
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 February 2012
Synopsis
Dual extremum principles characterising the solution of initial value problems for the heat equation are obtained by imbedding the problem in a two-point boundary-value problem for a system in which the original equation is coupled with its adjoint. Bounds on quantities of interest in the original initial value problem are obtained. Such principles are examples of ones which can be obtained for a general class of linear operators on a Hilbert space.
