Our work is devoted to an inverse problem for three-dimensional parabolic partial differential equations. When the surface temperature data are given, the problem of reconstructing the heat flux and the source term is investigated. There are two main contributions of this paper. First, an adjoint problem approach is used for analysis of the Frechet gradient of the cost functional. Second, an improved conjugate gradient method is proposed to solve this problem. Based on Lipschitz continuity of the gradient, the convergence analysis of the conjugate gradient algorithm is studied. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
