Abstract

We consider a time-varying inclusion in a thermal conductor specimen. In particular, the thermal conductivity is a variable function depending on space and time with a jump of discontinuity along the interface of the unknown anomalous region. Provided with some a priori information on the conductivity and its support, we study the continuous dependence of the inclusion from infinitely many thermal measurements taken on an open portion of the boundary of our specimen. We prove a rate of continuity of logarithmic type showing, in addition, its optimality.
