Stage 1: Understanding the Forward Problem
Stage 1: Understanding the Forward Problem
Before tackling the inverse problem, let's understand the forward problem and generate our "experimental" data.
Analytical Solution
For our specific case with \( f(x) = -15x + 2 \) and homogeneous boundary conditions, the exact solution is:
\[ T(x) = \frac{15x^3 - 2x^2 - 13x}{6\kappa} \]
Key insight:
Notice how \( T(x) \) depends on \( \kappa \). Different values of \( \kappa \) give different temperature profiles!
Creating "Experimental" Data
In a real experiment, we would measure temperature at a few locations. Let's simulate this with sparse, noisy measurements.
