I am interested on some recent results about the existence and uniqueness of solution in the inverse convection-diffusion problem where the unknown is the source term (any similar case may be interesting too). Also numerical algorithms for solving this type of problems are welcomed. G.

Seminar Date: Wed, 4 Feb 1998 Announcement and Call For Papers The Ninth Inverse Problems in Engineering Seminar Monday, June 8 -- Tuesday, June 9, 1998 Workshop on Selected Topics in Inverse Problem Solving Sunday, June 7, 1998 Ball State University Muncie, IN 47306 The Ninth Inverse Problems in Engineering Seminar is the continuation of the informal seminars which were initiated at Michigan State University in 1987. This seminar will be sponsored by the Department of Mathematical Science, Department of Computer Science, College of Science Humanities, and Center for Energy Research and Education at the Ball State University. Papers are solicited from all areas involving inverse methods and their applications. Four broad categories are being used to organize sessions. These categories, with some subtopics delineated, are: 1. Inverse Problems in Heat Transfer (Inverse Heat Conduction, Thermal Property Estimation) 2. Mathematical Aspects of and Techniques for Inverse Problems (Inverse Theory and Methods, Stability Considerations) 3. Design of Experiments and Applications of Inverse Methods (Optimal Experiment Design, Analysis of Actual Experimental Data) 4. Inverse Problems Exclusive of Heat Transfer (Bio-Engineering Inverse Problems, Shape Optimization, Inversion of Inferometric Data, Inverse Scattering and Tomography) 5. Inverse Problems and techniques - its application in Finance and Insurance Presentations will be informal twenty minute talks, followed by discussion. If the number of submissions warrants additional program time, a poster session will be included. About the Workshop: A workshop on selected topics in inverse problem solving is being planned in conjunction with this year's seminar. Tentative topics of coverage include mathematical aspects and relationships between different types of inverse problems, inverse problems in financial engineering, mollification techniques applied to inverse problems. Everyone registered for the seminar are welcome to attend the workshop. The workshop will provide general overviews in a tutorial format. The workshop will be on Sunday, June 7th, in the afternoon. How to Register or Submit a Paper: The seminar fee is $65. If you are interested in registering for this conference, please contact the chair to receive registration material. If you would like to submit a paper, please submit a tentative title and an abstract by March 15, 1998.
