The authors present a modification of a method of quasi-inversion established by R. Lattes and J. L. Lions and they use this modified method to investigate the control problem for the heat equation with an integral condition. More precisely, the following problems are considered: \[ \begin{aligned} & \partial u/\partial t-\partial^2 u/\partial x^2=0,\quad 0<x<1,\;t>0\\ & u(x,0)=\xi(x),\quad 0<x<1,\quad u(0,t)=0,\quad \int^1_0u(x,t) dx=0,\quad t>0\end{aligned}\tag{1} \] and \[ \begin{aligned} & \partial v_\varepsilon i/\partial t-\partial^2 v_\varepsilon/\partial x^2-\varepsilon\partial^3v_\varepsilon/\partial x^2\partial t=0,\quad 0<x<1,\quad 0<t<T\\ & v_\varepsilon(x,T)=\chi(x),\quad 0<x<1,\quad v_\varepsilon(0,t)=0,\quad \int^1_0 v_\varepsilon(x,t)dx=0,\quad 0<t<T.\end{aligned}\tag{2} \] It is shown that the problem (2) has a unique solution which is represented in the form of a biorthogonal series. We denote by \(u(x,t,\xi)\) the solution to the problem (1) and by \(v_\varepsilon(x,t)\) the solution to (2). The main result of this paper states that \(u(x,T,\xi)\) tends to \(\chi(x)\) as \(\varepsilon\to 0\), if \(\xi(x)=v_\varepsilon(x,0)\), namely: if \(\chi\in W^3_2(0,1)\) then \[ \int^1_0|\partial^2u(x,T,\xi)/\partial x^2-\chi(x)|^2 dx\to 0 \;\text{as} \varepsilon\to 0 \] and if \(\chi\in W^2_2(0,1)\) then \[ \int^1_2|u(x,T,\xi)-\chi(x)|^2 dx\to 0\;\text{as} \varepsilon\to 0, \] \[ \int^1_0|\partial u(x,T,\xi)/\partial x-\chi(x)|^2 dx\to 0\;\text{as} \varepsilon\to 0. \]
