Abstract
In this paper, we investigate a variational method for a multi-dimensional inverse heat conduction problem in Lipschitz domains. We regularize the problem by using the boundary element method coupled with the conjugate gradient method. We prove the convergence of this scheme with and without Tikhonov regularization. Numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of the scheme.
