Abstract
Inverse problems deal with determining the causes on the basis of knowing their effects. The object of the inverse parameter estimation problem is to fix the thermal material parameters (the cause) on the strength of a given observation of the temperature history at one or more interior points (the effect). This paper demonstrates two novel approaches to the inverse problems. These approaches use two artificial intelligence mechanisms: neural network and genetic algorithm. Examples shown in this paper give a comparison of results obtained by both of these methods. The numerical technique of neural networks evolved from the effort to model the function of the human brain and the genetic algorithms model the evolutional process of nature. Both of the presented approaches can lead to a solution without having problems with the stability of the inverse task. Both methods are suitable for parallel processing and are advantageous for a multiprocessor computer architecture.
