Numerical Determination of a Time-Dependent Source in a Modified Benjamin–Bona–Mahony Equation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, we consider a modified Benjamin–Bona–Mahony (BBM) equation, which, for example, arises in shallow-water models. We discuss the well-posedness of the Dirichlet initial-boundary-value problem for the BBM equation. Our focus is on identifying a time-dependent source based on integral observation. First, we reformulate this inverse problem as an equivalent direct (forward) problem for a nonlinear loaded pseudoparabolic equation. Next, we develop and implement two efficient numerical methods for solving the resulting loaded equation problem. Finally, we analyze and discuss computational test examples.
