    A nonlinear inverse problem that requires identifying the time-dependent diffusivity with periodic boundary condition and nonlocal boundary measurement is investigated. The unique solvability and continuous dependence upon the input data are proved. Numerically, the resulting inverse problem is reformulated as a nonlinear least squares optimization problem, which is solved using the MATLAB toolbox routine lsqnonlin. Numerical results show that accurate, robust, and reasonably stable solutions are obtained. Results for a few test examples are presented and discussed.
