Abstract: We consider the recovery of a source term $f(x,t)=p(x)q(t)$ for the nonhomogeneous heat equation in $Omegaimes(0,infty)$ where $Omega$ is a bounded domain in $mathbb{R}^2$ with smooth boundary $partialOmega$ from overposed lateral data on a sparse subset of $partialOmegaimes(0,infty)$. Specifically, we shall require a small finite number $N$ of measurement points on $partialOmega$ and prove a uniqueness result; namely the recovery of the pair $(p,q)$ within a given class, by a judicious choice of $N=2$ points. Naturally, with this paucity of overposed data, the problem is severely ill-posed. Nevertheless we shall show that provided the data noise level is low, effective numerical reconstructions may be obtained.
