Olejar Books

This volume contains the results of the workshop on Parameter Identification and Inverse Problems in Hydrology, Geology and Ecology, held in Karlsruhe, Germany, and represents a balanced selection of contributions from the various groups of participants. The reviewed, invited and contributed articles are grouped according to the broad headings of hydrology, non-linear diffusion and soil physics, geophysical methods, mathematical analysis of inverse and ill-posed problems and parallel algorithms for inverse problems. The book also contains the three-lecture tutorial `Introduction to Inverse Problems of Non-linear Partial Differential Equations for Physicists, Scientists and Engineers' by Paul DuChateau, held at the Workshop. Audience: Applied mathematicians, engineers and geoscientists working in the fields of numerical methods and analysis of inverse and ill-posed problems, hydrology, ecology, soil sciences, geophysics, porous media research, water resource planning and management, and nuclear waste management.
