Abstract

In this paper the parametric inverse heat conduction problem with the third kind boundary condition is solved by applying the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm introduced in recent years and belonging to the group of optimization algorithms inspired by the behavior of swarms of individuals living in real word. In this case the applied algorithm is based on the technique of searching for the shortest way connecting the ant-hill with the source of food and is used for minimizing the functional playing a crucial role in the proposed procedure prepared for reconstruction of the thermal conductivity coefficient.
