Abstract

In this paper a nonlinear inverse heat conduction problem in one dimensional space is considered. This
inverse problem reformulate as an auxiliary inverse problem. Ill-posedness is identified as one of the main
characteristics of the inverse problems. So, a numerical algorithm based on the combination of discrete
mollification and space marching method is applied to conquer ill-posedness of the auxiliary inverse problem.
Moreover, a proof of stability and convergence of the aforementioned algorithm is provided. Eventually, the
efficiency of this method is illustrated by a numerical example.
