Abstract

In this study, we apply the Bayesian paradigm for parameter identification to a well-studied semi-linear reaction-difusion system with activatordepleted reaction kinetics, posed on stationary as well as evolving domains. We provide a mathematically rigorous framework to study the inverse problem of finding the parameters of a reaction-diffusion system given a final spatial pattern. On the stationary domain the parameters are finite dimensional, but on the evolving domain we consider the problem of identifying the evolution of the domain, i.e. a time dependent function. While others have considered these inverse problems using optimisation techniques, the Bayesian approach provides a rigorous mathematical framework for incorporating the prior knowledge on uncertainty in the observation and in the parameters themselves, resulting in an approximation of the full probability distribution for the parameters, given the data. Furthermore, using previously established results, we can prove wellposedness results for the inverse problem, using the well-posedness of the forward problem. Although the numerical approximation of the full probability is computationally expensive, parallelised algorithms make the problem solvable using high-performance computing.
