Time-adaptive FEM for distributed parameter identification in biological models

Paper in proceeding, 2013

We propose a time-adaptive finite element method for the solution of a parameter identification problem for ODE which describes dynamical systems of biological models. We present framework of a posteriori error estimate in the Tikhonov functional, in Lagrangian, and in the reconstructed function. We also present time-mesh relaxation property in the adaptivity and formulate the time-mesh refinement recommendation and an adaptive algorithm which can be used to find optimal values of the distributed parameters in biological models.
