Abstract
We consider the determination of heat flux within a body from the Cauchy data. The aim of this paper is to seek an approach to solve the onedimensional heat equation in a bounded domain without initial value. This problem is severely ill-posed and there are few theoretic results. A quasi-reversibility regularization method is used to obtain a regularized solution and convergence estimates are given. For numerical implementation, we apply a method of lines to solve the regularized problem. From numerical results, we can see that the proposed method is reasonable and feasible.Keywords
