%T Procedure for improving wildfire simulations using observations
%U http://www.maths-in-industry.org/miis/281/
%X This report suggests a variational update method for improving wildfire simulations using observations as feedback to update information. We first assume a onedimensional fire model for simplicity and present numerical simulations obtained in this case. As possible alternative approaches, we also discuss two other update methods: a particle filter method and an optimal control method.
