The Method Based on Series Solution for Identifying an Unknown Source Coefficient on the Temperature Field in the Quasiperiodic Media

In this paper, we consider the reconstruction of heat field in one-dimensional quasiperiodic media with an unknown source from the interior measurement. The innovation of this paper is solving the inverse problem by means of two different homotopy iteration processes. The first kind of homotopy iteration process is not convergent. For the second kind of homotopy iteration process, a convergent result is proved. Based on the uniqueness of this inverse problem and convergence results of the second kind of homotopy iteration process with exact data, the results of two numerical examples show that the proposed method is efficient, and the error of the inversion solution r t is given.
