An inverse source problem is considered for the multidimensional diffusion equation. The source term is expressed by a sum of unknown point sources, and the number of these point sources is also unknown. Our problem is to estimate the unknown source term under the condition that the potential and flux are observed on the boundary. We propose a numerical method that need not use a direct analysis for the governing equation. Our method is based on a weighted residual approach with suitable weighting functions analogized from the fundamental solution of the one-dimensional case. The effectiveness of the method is shown by numerical examples.
