In the present work, the optimum thickness of a plane 
wall with a heat-shielding coating that ensures the minimum steady-state 
temperature of the most heated point of the wall is determined. On 
the unprotected side the wall is cooled by a medium whose temperature 
and heat-transfer coefficient are constant, whereas on the side of 
the coating the wall is exposed to a heat flux with an intensity of 
the Gaussian type in the pulse-periodic regime.
