Application of the homotopy perturbation method for the solution of inverse heat conduction problem

This paper deals with an application of the homotopy perturbation method for the solution of inverse heat conduction problem. This problem consists in the calculation of temperature distribution in the domain, as well as in the reconstruction of functions describing the temperature and heat flux on the boundary, when the temperature measurements in the domain are known. Examples illustrating discussed application and confirming utility of this method in such a type of problem was also presented.
