چکیده

We find a solution of an unknown time-dependent diffusivity a(t) in a linear inverse parabolic problem by a modified genetic algorithm. At first, it is shown that under certain conditions of data, there exists at least one solution for unknown a(t) in (a(t), T (x, t)), which is a solution to the corresponding problem. Then, an optimal estimation for unknown a(t) is found by applying the least-squares method and a modified genetic algo rithm. Results show that an excellent estimation can be obtained by the implementation of a modified real-valued genetic algorithm within an Intel Pentium (R) dual-core CPU with a clock speed of 2.4 GHz.
