%0 Journal Article %T Stability and Regularization Method for Inverse Initial Value Problem of Biparabolic Equation %A Hongwu Zhang %A Xiaoju Zhang %J Open Access Library Journal %V 2 %N 5 %P 1-7 %@ 2333-9721 %D 2015 %I Open Access Library %R 10.4236/oalib.1101542 %X We consider an inverse initial value problem of the biparabolic equation; this problem is ill-posed and the regularization methods are needed to stabilize the numerical computations. This paper firstly establishes a conditional stability of Holder type, then uses a modified regularization method to overcome its ill-posedness and gives the convergence estimate under an a-priori assumption for the exact solution. Finally, a numerical example is presented to show that this method works well. %K Inverse Initial Value Problem %K Biparabolic Equation %K Conditional Stability %K Regularization Method %K Convergence Estimate %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/3145694
