Abstract We study the backward problem for non-linear (semilinear) parabolic partial differential equations in Hilbert spaces. The problem is severely ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard. Under a weak a priori assumption on the exact solution, we propose a new Fourier truncated regularization method for stabilising the ill-posed problem. In comparison with previous studies on solving the nonlinear backward problem, our method shows a significant improvement.

1 Introduction Let H be a Hilbert space with the inner product . and the norm . and let A be a positive self-adjoint operator defined on a dense subspace D(A) ⊂ H such that −A generates a compact contractive semi-group {S(t)}t≥0 on H . We shall consider the backward problem

where the data ϕ is given in H and the source function f will be defined later. In practice, the data ϕ ∈ H is noisy and is represented by the perturbed data ϕ  ∈ H satisfying    ϕ − ϕ  ≤ , (2) where the constant  > 0 represents an upper bound on the measurement error. The problem (1) is not well-posed because its solution may not exist and, even if it exists, it does not depend continuously on the “noisy” Cauchy data ϕ  . Hence, a regularization process is required in order to obtain a stable solution. The linear homogeneous case f = 0 has been studied in many papers, we refer to some interesting ones [1–4, 7, 9, 15, 18, 24]. Although there are many papers on the linear case of the backward parabolic problem, the nonlinear cases has been less investigated [8, 17, 21–23] and it is the purpose of this study to make advances into the semi-linear problem (1). First, the study of backward problem for parabolic are very close to those that have been developed in the context of controllability of parabolic problems. The issues there are also very close to that of solving the equation backwards, although often this appears as a technical preliminary step to deal with more
