The problem of recovering a time‐dependent coefficient in a parabolic partial differential equation has attracted considerable recent attention. Several finite difference schemes are presented for identifying the function u ( x , t ) and the unknown coefficient a ( t ) in a one‐dimensional partial differential equation. These schemes are developed to determine the unknown properties in a region by measuring only data on the boundary. Our goal has been focused on coefficients that presents physical quantities, for example, the conductivity of a medium. For the convenience of discussion, we will present the results of numerical experiment on several test problems. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2005
