Abstract In this paper, we consider solving numerically for the first time inverse problems
of determining the time-dependent thermal diffusivity coefficient for a weakly degenerate
heat equation, which vanishes at the initial moment of time, and/or the convection
coefficient along with the temperature for a one-dimensional parabolic equation, from
some additional information about the process (the so-called over-determination
conditions). Although uniquely solvable these inverse problems are still ill-posed since
small changes in the input data can result in enormous changes in the output solution.
