Introduces a new technique for solving problems in which some of the initial and/or boundary conditions are unknown, and shows how it can be applied to inverse problems of environmental pollution underground and in surface waters, and thermal and air pollution. The sentinel method is an implementation of the least-squares method particularly well adapted to identifying parameters in distributed ecosystems. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Many environmental problems contain incomplete data in the initial or boundary conditions. How do we solve problems for which some of the initial and/or boundary conditions are unknown? Using a new technique, the sentinel method, this book answers these questions and others as they pertain to inverse problems in environmental pollution, such as pollution of underground and surface waters, thermal pollution, and air pollution.
