Abstract In this paper, we consider a typical ill-posed inverse heat source problem, that is, we determine a space-dependent heat source term in a multi-dimensional heat equation from a pair of Cauchy data on a part of boundary. By a simple transformation, the inverse heat source problem is changed into a Cauchy problem of a homogenous heat conduction equation. We use the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) coupled with the Tikhonov regularization technique to solve the ill-conditioned linear system of equations resulted from the MFS discretization. The generalized cross-validation rule for determining the regularization parameter is More >
