Abstract: The authors study the problem

u_{t} = u_{x x}, 0 < x < 1, t > 0; u (x, 0) = 0,

and

u (0, t) = u (1, t) = p s i (t),

where

p s i (t) = u_{0}

for

t_{2 k} < t < t_{2 k + 1}

and

p s i (t) = 0

for

t_{2 k + 1} < t < t_{2 k + 2}, k = 0, 1, 2, l d o t s

with

t_{0} = 0

and the sequence

t_{k}

is determined by the equations

i n t_{0}^{1} u (x, t_{k}) d x = M,

for

k = 1, 3, 5, d o t s,

and

i n t_{0}^{1} u (x, t_{k}) d x = m,

for

k = 2, 4, 6, d o t s

and where

0 < m < M < u_{0}

. Note that the switching points

t_{k}, q u a d k = 1, 2, 3, l d o t s

are unknown. Existence and uniqueness are demonstrated. Theoretical estimates of the

t_{k}

and

t_{k + 1} - t_{k}

are obtained and numerical verifications of the estimates are presented.
