AN ABC ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING THE INVERSE HEAT CONDUCTION PROBLEM OF ESTIMATING INITIAL CONDITION

This paper deals with estimation of unknown initial condition in one dimensional inverse heat conduction problem. The unknown initial condition is calculated on the basis of measured temperature history at a final time. The standard Tikhonov regularization method with the Artifical Bee Colony(ABC) algorithm approach for choosing regular parameter is adopted for solving the resultant ill-conditioned system of linear algebraic equation. Finally, the numerical results show that the proposed method is effective and yielding good agreement and accurate results
