Abstract: 
 In this work, we consider the problem of determining an unknown 
 parameter in a heat equation with ill-posed nature. 
 Applying Tikhonov regularization, we obtain a stable approximation 
 to the unknown parameter from over-specified data. 
 We also present numerical computations that verify the accuracy of 
 our approximation.
