Abstract
In this article, an efficient method is developed for identifying the unknown time-dependent terms in parabolic differential equations from the boundary measurements. The presented approach is based on the forward finite difference and backward finite difference methods for solving the corresponding problem which has integral conditions. Some numerical examples are presented to show the efficiency and applicability of proposed method.
