Solving an inverse heat conduction problem by reduced differential transform method

Abstract

In this paper, the inverse problem of determining an unknown boundary condition in an inverse heat conducton problem isconsidered. The reduced differential transform method is presented for recovering the unknown functions and obtaining a solution of theproblem. This technique doesn’t require any discretization, linearization or small perturbations. Finally, some examples are presentedto illustrate the ability and efficiency of the present approach.
