M20. Inverse Obstacle and Control Problems in Mechanics

Inverse obstacle problems are one of typical groups of inverse problems which aim at extracting information about the geometry, quantitative or qualitative property of unknown obstacles, cracks and inclusions embedded in an object to be probed by using the outputs corresponding to several inputs. By this, variational approaches are widely used in all fields of inverse and related ill-posed problems, nonsmooth optimization, optimal control, and homogenization. In this respect, we focus but are not limited to singular and unilaterally constrained problems arising in mechanics, geophysics, and real-world kinetics which are governed by complex systems of PDE equations and inequalities.

In a broad scope, the minisymposium objectives are directed toward advances which are attained in the theory, computation, and application of inverse and ill-posed problems.
