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^2)) .
% 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.
