Using the methods of mathematical simulation. we investigated 
the characteristic features of formation of a stationary temperature 
field in a cooled plane isotropic wall subjected to local pulse-periodic 
heating. The possibility of the existence of an optimum wall thickness 
that ensures a minimum stationary temperature of its most heated point 
has been established.
