Mohamed In this work, the inverse initial value problem IVP for the heat equation is formulated and solved. Initial temperature (initial condition) distribution is unknown in this problem, and instead, the temperature spreading at period t= T> 0 is assumed. Among mathematical problems, a class of problems is singled out, the solutions of which are unstable to minor variations in the initial information. It is well identified that this problem is ill-posed. In order to solve the direct problem, we has used the separation of variables way. Note that the method of separation of variables is completely inapplicable for solving IVP, since it principals to rather errors, also divergent series. Ivanov V.K. noticed that if the inverse problem IP  is solved by the method separation of variables, and then the resulting series is changed by a incomplete sum of the series, in which the term number is depending on δ, N=N(δ), then as a result we obtain a stable approximate solution. The Picard method customs a regularizing family of operators  that map space  to same space. 2022 2022 46 55 10.54216/JAIM.020205 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/28/show/1816
