The estimate is very important for many applications. For example, it is important for the inverse problem identifying inclusions inside a heat conductive medium from boundary measurements.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-06-24T09:42:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fundamental solution", "discontinuous coefficients", "parabolic operators", "scalar parabolic equations", "inverse problem identifying inclusions inside" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0906.4438D" } } }
