Abstract:
We consider an inverse problem of determining the time-dependent lowest order coefficient of two-dimensional (2D) heat equation with Ionkin boundary and total energy integral overdetermination condition. The global well-posedness of the problem is obtained by generalized Fourier method combined with the unique solvability of the second kind Volterra integral equation. For obtaining a numerical solution of the inverse problem, we propose the discretization method from a new combination. On the one hand, it is known the traditional method of uniform finite difference combined with numerical integration on a uniform grid (trapezoidal and Simpson's), on the other hand, we give the method of non-uniform finite difference is combined by a numerical integration on a non-uniform grid (with Gauss–Lobatto nodes). Numerical examples illustrate how to implement the method.
