Abstract

We consider a two-dimensional parabolic problem subject to both Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions, along with an integral constraint. Based on the integral observation, we solve the inverse problem of a recovering time-dependent right-hand side. By exploiting the structure of the boundary conditions, we reduce the original inverse problem to a one-dimensional formulation. We conduct a detailed analysis of the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the resulting one-dimensional loaded initial-boundary value problem. Furthermore, we derive estimates for both the solution and the unknown function. The direct and inverse problems are numerically solved by finite difference schemes. Numerical verification of the theoretical results is provided.
