Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem of time-optimal control for the parabolic equation with involution in a multidimensional parallelepiped domain. A generalized solution to the initial boundary value problem is found, and the control problem is reduced to a first-order Volterra integral equation. To prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution to this integral equation, necessary estimates are obtained for its kernel. The existence of a solution to the integral equation, i.e., the admissibility of the control function, is proven, and an optimal estimate of the minimum time required to heat the domain to a certain average temperature is found.
