Fitzpatrick, Ben G. Analysis and approximation for inverse problems in contaminant transport and biodegradation models. (English) Zbl 0839.76081 Numer. Funct. Anal. Optimization 16, No. 7-8, 847-866 (1995). Summary: We consider the problem of estimating transport and biodegradation parameters in a contaminant transport model. We develop a convergence theory for parameter identification under approximation that includes the nonlinearities inherent in the biodegradation models. The functional analytic approach provides a means for studying a variety of solute transport and biodegradation problems.
