Title: A wavelet regularization method for an inverse heat conduction problem with convection term Authors: Wei Cheng (Henan Univ. of Technology, Zhengzhou, China) Ying-Qi Zhang (Henan Univ. of Technology, Zhengzhou, China) Chu-Li Fu (Lanzhou Univ., Lanzhou, China) Abstract: In this article, we consider an inverse heat conduction problem with convection, which is ill-posed; i.e., the solution does not depend continuously on the given data. A special projection dual least squares method generated by the family of Shannon wavelets is applied to formulate an approximate solution. Also an optimal-order estimate for the error between the approximate solution and exact solution is obtained. Submitted February 5, 2013. Published May 17, 2013.
