SOLVING A NONLINEAR INVERSE PROBLEM OF IDENTIFYING AN UNKNOWN SOURCE TERM IN A REACTION-DIFFUSION EQUATION BY ADOMIAN DECOMPOSITION METHOD

Abstract

We consider the inverse problem of Şnding the nonlinear source for nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion equation whenever the initial and boundary condition are given.We investigate the numerical solution of this problem by using Adomian DecompositionMethod (ADM). The approach of the proposed method is to approximate unknown coefficients by a nonlinear function whose coefficients are determined from the solution ofminimization problem based on the overspeciŞed data. Further, the Tikhonov regularization method is applied to deal with noisy input data and obtain a stable approximatesolution. This method is tested for two examples. The results obtained show that themethod is efficient and accurate. This study showed also, the speed of the convergent ofADM.
