Identification of spacewise dependent right-hand side in two dimensional parabolic equation

Abstract

In this paper numerical solution of the inverse problem of determining a spacewise dependent right-hand side function in two dimensional parabolic equation is considered. Usually, the right-hand side function dependent on spatial variable is obtained from measured data of the solution at the final time point. Many mathematical modeling problems in the field of physics and engineering will encounter the inverse problems to identify the right-hand terms. When studying an inverse problem of identifying the spacewise dependent right-hand function, iterative methods are often used. We propose a new conjugate gradient method based on the constructed self-adjoint operator of the equation for numerical solution of the function and numerical examples illustrate the efficiency and accuracy.
