Feb 25, 2016 at 0:35 comment added reuns you can recover $\rho(x,t)$ iff you can reconstruct $(\rho \ast K)(x,t)$ for every $x,t$. so you'll need more than $f_T(.)$ for a single $T$, for example you'll need $\displaystyle\frac{\partial^k f}{\partial T^k}(x,T)$ for every $k,x$

Feb 23, 2016 at 12:56 comment added Christian Clason I second Dirk's suggestion -- if the heat equation is one-dimensional, Cannon's book has more about it than you've ever wanted to know. From my experience, determining space- and time-dependent $\rho$ could be tricky; you'd have much better chance if you have $\rho=\rho_1(t)\rho_2(x)$, where one of the two factors is known.

Feb 23, 2016 at 10:22 comment added Dirk @yimin Sounds strange at first sight, that this may well be possible (note that $f_T(x)$ can be an analytic function in $x$ and $T$ and hence, determined if known on a set with some cluster point). More to the OP: I don't know the answer but I vaguely remember that the book The One-Dimensional Heat Equation by Cannon is a great source for such questions.
Feb 23, 2016 at 3:53 comment added Yimin sounds like recovering a 2d function from 1d measurement?
