A meshless method based on RBFs method for nonhomogeneous backward heat conduction problem

Based on the idea of radial basis functions approximation and the method of particular solutions, we develop in this paper a new meshless computational method to solve nonhomogeneous backward heat conduction problem. To illustrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method, we solve several benchmark problems in both two- and three-dimensions. Numerical results indicate that this novel approach can achieve an efficient and accurate solution even when the final temperature data is almost undetectable or disturbed with large noises. It has also been shown that the proposed method is stable to recover the unknown initial temperature from scattered final temperature data.
