%0 Journal Article %T An inverse problem in a parabolic equation %A Zhilin Li %A Kewang Zheng %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 1998 %I Texas State University %X In this paper, an inverse problem in a parabolic equation is studied. An unknown function in the equation is related to two integral equations in terms of heat kernel. One of the integral equations is well-posed while another is ill-posed. A regularization approach for constructing an approximate solution to the ill-posed integral equation is proposed. Theoretical analysis and numerical experiment are provided to support the method. %K Coefficients identification %K ill-posedness %K regularization. %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/conf-proc/01/l6/abstr.html
