Two inverse problems are considered for the heat equation with unknown thermal conductivity coefficient and unknown function in the source term. The unknown functions are time-dependent and need to be determined using additional information about the solution of the mixed initial-boundary value problem for the heat equation. The difference in the two inverse problems is determined by the additional information used for their solution. Iterative numerical methods for the inverse problems are proposed and implemented. Results of the application of the iterative methods for the determination of the unknown functions are reported.
