• Abstract

We consider the inverse problem of identifying a general source term, which is a function of both time variable and the spatial variable, in a parabolic PDE  from the knowledge of  boundary measurements of the solution on some portion of the lateral boundary. We transform this  inverse problem into a problem of solving a compact linear operator equation. For the regularization of the operator equation with noisy data, we employ the standard  Tikhonov regularization, and its  finite dimensional realization is done using a discretization  procedure involving the space  $L^2(0,\tau;L^2(Ω))$. For illustrating the  specification of an a priori source condition,  we have explicitly obtained the range space of the adjoint of the operator involved in the operator equation.
