Parabolic inverse convection-diffusion-reaction problem solved using an   adaptive parametrization
  This paper investigates the solution of a parabolic inverse problem based upon the convection-diffusion-reaction equation, which can be used to estimate both water and air pollution. We will consider both known and unknown source location: while in the first case the problem is solved using a projected damped Gauss-Newton, in the second one it is ill-posed and an adaptive parametrization with time localization will be adopted to regularize it. To solve the optimization loop a model reduction technique (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition) is used.
