For proof of concept, we consider a two dimensional model. We prove existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence theorems for the model. We formulate a probability based parameter estimation problem for estimating thermal parameters and present numerical results. We derive sensitivity equations for our system and use these to investigate the sensitivity of composite silicones with respect to the thermal conductivity of both the base silicone polymer and the filler particles. Numerical results of this investigation are also presented.}, number={7-8}, journal={NUMERICAL FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION}, author={Banks, HT and Bihari, KL}, year={2002}, pages={705–745} }
