...Mousa Huntul; Daniel Lesnic; Tomas Johansson Purpose The purpose of this study is to provide an insight and to solve numerically the identification of an unknown coefficient of radiation/absorption/perfusion appearing in the heat equation from additional temperature measurements. Design...

... is presented to overcome the higher storage requirements, computational complexity and the nonlinear term in numerical computation for the 2D/3D AC equation. Design/methodology/approach In each time interval, the authors first split the original equation into a heat equation and a nonlinear equation...

... is presented in a computational context, fitting naturally into a finite element framework, with both implicit and explicit time stepping, while saving the need for expensive mesh construction inside the layer and in its vicinity. Finite element Heat equation Interface Asymptotic Thin layer Time...

... to determine a heat source in the parabolic heat equation using the usual conditions. Then this shows the pertinent features of the technique in inverse problems. Findings – Using this HPM, a rapid convergent sequence which tends to the exact solution of the problem can be obtained. And the HPM does...
