In this paper, we consider an inverse heat conduction problem with variable coefficient a(t). In many practical situations such as an on-line testing, we cannot know the initial condition for example because we have to estimate the problem for the heat process which was already started. Based on the method of fundamental solutions, we give a numerical scheme for solving the reconstruction problem. Since the governing equation contains variable coefficients, modified method of fundamental solutions was used to solve this kind of ill-posed problems. Some numerical examples are given for verifying the efficiency and accuracy of the presented method.

We propose a new meshless method to solve a backward inverse heat conduction problem. The numerical scheme, based on the fundamental solution of the heat equation and radial basis functions (RBFs), is used to obtain a numerical solution. Since the coefficients matrix is ill-conditioned, the Tikhonov regularization (TR) method is employed to solve the resulted system of linear equations. Also, the generalized cross-validation (GCV) criterion is applied to choose a regularization parameter. A test problem demonstrates the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of the proposed method.
