function [A,b,x] = heat(n,kappa) %HEAT Test problem: inverse heat equation. % % [A,b,x] = heat(n,kappa) % % A first kind Volterra integral equation with [0,1] as % integration interval. The kernel is K(s,t) = k(s-t) with % k(t) = t^(-3/2)/(2*kappa*sqrt(pi))*exp(-1/(4*kappa^2*t)) . % Here, kappa controls the ill-conditioning of the matrix: % kappa = 5 gives a well-conditioned problem % kappa = 1 gives an ill-conditioned problem. % The default is kappa = 1. % % An exact soltuion is constructed, and then the right-hand side % b is produced as b = A*x. % Reference: A.
