Simultaneous reconstruction of the surface heat flux and the source term in 3D linear parabolic problem by modified conjugate gradient method

Our work is devoted to an inverse problem for three‐dimensional parabolic partial differential equations. When the surface temperature data are given, the problem of reconstructing the heat flux and the source term is investigated. There are two main contributions of this paper. First, an adjoint problem approach is used for analysis of the Fréchet gradient of the cost functional. Second, an improved conjugate gradient method is proposed to...
