Estimation of boundary temperature using the energy minimization method

The inverse problem consisting in identification of temperature on the part of boundary limiting the domain considered in discussed. In order to solve the problem the energy minimization method coupled with the boundary element method is used. The computations have been realized for different numbers and positions of control points, the possible disturbances of 'measured' temperatures have been also taken into account. The theoretical considerations are supplemented by the examples of computations verifying the correctness of the algorithm proposed.
