RT Book, Section SR 00 A1 Kurzhanski, A. A1 Khapalov, A. T1 Mathematical problems motivated by environmental monitoring YR 1990 FD 1990-08 VO 5 SP 529 OP 534 AB This paper introduces three estimation problems for parabolic systems: the estimation of the intensity of sources on the basis of available measurements, the estimation of the state of a distributed process through given observations and an inverse problem of multiobjective optimization whose solution allows to estimate the largest input levels that ensure a guaranteed system output performance. The motivations to the problems come from environmental monitoring issues.
