    Abstract

    An iterative method for reconstruction of the solution to a parabolic initial boundary value problem of second order from Cauchy data is presented. The data are given on a part of the boundary. At each iteration step, a series of well-posed mixed boundary value problems are solved for the parabolic operator and its adjoint. The convergence proof of this method in a weighted L2-space is included.
