Numerical simulation for solving an inverse boundary heat conduction problem

This paper proposes different approaches that help to find numerical solution to the boundary problem for heat equation. The Laplace and Fourier transforms are the basis for these approaches. The application of the Laplace transform allowed us to obtain an operator equation which connected the unknown function at one boundary with the initial data on the other boundary. The approach based on the Fourier transform for a time variable enables us to get a stable solution for the inverse problem of heat diagnostics. The obtained results are used for devising numerical methods. Comparative computational analysis of these approaches shows the limits of applications and effectiveness of each numerical method.
