Abstract

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method is used for computing an un- known time-dependent parameter in an inverse quasilinear parabolic partial di¤erential equation and compared with the Adomian decomposition method. To show the e¢ ciency of the new approach, several test examples are presented.
