ERROR ESTIMATES OF A DIFFERENCE APPROXIMATION METHOD FOR A BACKWARD HEAT CONDUCTION PROBLEM XIANG-TUAN XIONG, CHU-LI FU, ZHI QIAN, AND XIANG GAO Received 22 March 2005; Revised 11 December 2005; Accepted 12 February 2006 We introduce a central difference method for a backward heat conduction problem (BHCP). Error estimates for this method are provided together with a selection rule for the regularization parameter (the space step length). A numerical experiment is presented in order to illustrate the role of the regularization parameter. Copyright © 2006 Hindawi Publishing
