In this paper the determination of the time‐dependent heat transfer coefficient in one‐dimensional transient heat conduction from a non‐standard boundary measurement is investigated. For this inverse nonlinear ill‐posed problem the uniqueness of the solution holds. Numerical results obtained using the boundary element method are presented and discussed.
