Abstract:
We apply the method of integral representations to study the ill-posed Cauchy problem for the heat equation. More precisely we recover a function, satisfying the heat equation in a cylindrical domain, via its values and the values of its normal derivative on a given part of the lateral surface of the cylinder. We prove that the problem is ill-posed in the natural (anisotropic) spaces (Sobolev and Hölder spaces, etc). Finally, we obtain a uniqueness theorem for the problem and a criterion of its solvability and a Carleman-type formula for its solution.
Keywords:the heat equation, ill-posed problems, integral representation method, Carleman formulas.
