Abstract

This study aims to investigate the problem of determining the unknown initial temperature in a variable coefficient heat equation. We obtain the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the optimal control problem considered under some conditions. Using the adjoint problem approach, we get the Frechet differential of the cost functional. We construct a minimizing sequence and give the convergence rate of this sequence. Also, we test the theoretical results in a numerical example by using the MAPLE® program.
