In recent years, the subject of the inverse problems for partial differential equations is of significant and quickly growing interest for many scientists and engineers. Especially, theory and methods of solutions of inverse problems of determining unknown parameter of partial differential equations have been comprehensively studied by a few researchers (see \cite{1},\ \cite{2}, \cite{4}--\cite{7}, \cite{9}--\cite{22}, \cite{24}--\cite{31}, \cite{34}--\cite{36}, and references therein). Existence, uniqueness, and Fredholm property theorems for the inverse problem of finding the source in an abstract second-order elliptic equation on a finite interval are established in \cite{24}. In \cite{34}--\cite{36}, the author investigated source determination for the elliptic equation in plane, rectangle and cylinder. Sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of the inverse coefficient problems with overdetermination on the boundary, where the Dirichlet conditions are supplemented with the vanishing condition for the normal derivative on part of the boundary were given. Approximation of inverse Bitzadze-Samarsky problem for abstract elliptic differential equations with Neumann type overdetermination which is based on semigroup theory and a functional analysis approach are described in \cite{26}. Simultaneous reconstruction of coefficients and source parameters in elliptic systems modelled with many boundary value problems was discussed in \cite{30}. It was proposed in \cite{18} and \cite{29} that the determination of the problem of an unknown boundary condition in the boundary value problem in the regularization procedures can be performed with the help of an extra measurement at an internal point. Well-posedness of inverse problems for elliptic differential and difference equations were investigated in \cite{10}--\cite{15}. These works are devoted to identification problems of an elliptic differential and difference equations with Dirichlet type overdetermination. The exact estimates for the solution of the boundary value problem of determining the parameter of an elliptic equation with a positive operator in an Banach space are obtained in \cite{4}. The papers \cite{4,10}, \cite{11}, \cite{13}--\cite{15} are devoted to getting the stability and coercive stability inequalities for the solutions of various inverse problems with Dirichlet type overdetermination for elliptic differential and difference equations. In \cite{15}, the inverse problem for the multi-dimensional elliptic equation with Dirichlet type overdetermination and mixed boundary conditions, and also its first and second order accuracy approximations presented. Moreover, the stability, almost coercive stability and coercive stability inequalities for the solution of these difference schemes are showed. The third and fourth order of accuracy stable difference schemes for the solution of the inverse problem with Dirichlet type overdetermination and Dirichlet boundary condition are presented in \cite{10}. By using the result of established abstract results, well-posedness of high order accuracy difference schemes of the inverse problem for a multidimensional elliptic equation were obtained. High order stable difference schemes for the approximately solution of inverse problem for the multidimensional elliptic equation with Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions and the stability estimates for their solutions were disscussed in \cite{11}. In \cite{12}, the inverse problem for the multidimensional elliptic equation with Neumann type overdetermination and Dirichlet boundary condition was considered. Our aim in this work is investigation of the inverse problem for the multidimensional elliptic equation with Neumann type overdetermination and mixed boundary conditions. We construct the first and second order of accuracy difference schemes and give stability estimates for their solutions. Numerical example with explanation on the realization on computer will be done to illustrate theoretical results. Let $\Omega =( 0,\ell ) \times ( 0,\ell ) \times \dots \times ( 0,\ell )$ be the open cube in the $n$ -dimensional Euclidean space with boundary $S=S_1\cup S_2,~\overline{ \Omega }=\Omega \cup S$, where \begin{gather*} S =\big\{ x=(x_1,\dots ,x_n): x_{i}=0\text{ or }x_{i}=\ell ,\; 0\leq x_k\leq \ell ,\; k\neq i,\; 1\leq i\leq n\big\} , \\ S_1 =\big\{ x=(x_1,\dots ,x_n): x_{i}=0,\; 0\leq x_k\leq \ell ,\; k\neq i,\; 1\leq i\leq n\big\} , \\ S_2 =\big\{ x=(x_1,\dots ,x_n): x_{i}=\ell ,\; 00$ are known numbers, $a_{i}(x)$ $(i=1,\ldots ,n; x\in \Omega )$, $\varphi (x),\psi (x),\xi (x)$ $(x\in \overline{\Omega })$, and $f(t,x)$ ($t\in (0,T),x\in \Omega$) are given smooth functions, $a_{i}(x)\geq a>0$ $(x\in \Omega )$. In this article, the first and second order of accuracy difference schemes for approximate solution of the inverse problem are constructed \eqref{ax} and stability, almost coercive stability estimates for the solution of these difference schemes are established. This paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, we present the first and second order accuracy difference schemes for the inverse problem \eqref{ax}. Section 3 is devoted to the stability and almost coercive stability estimates for the solution of these difference schemes. In Section 4, we present numerical results for two dimensional elliptic equation. The conclusion is given in the final Section 5. \section{Difference schemes} The differential expression (\cite{8,23}) \begin{equation} Au(x)=-\sum_{i=1}^{n}(a_{i}\ (x)u_{x_{i}}(x))_{x_{i}}+\delta u(x) \label{operatora} \end{equation} defines a self-adjoint positive definite operator $A$ acting on space $L_2(\overline{\Omega })$ with the domain $D(A)=\big\{ u(x)\in W_2^{2}(\overline{\Omega }): u=0 \text{ on } S_1\text{ and }\frac{\partial u}{\partial \overrightarrow{n}}=0 \text{ on }S_2\big\}$. By using the substitution \begin{equation} u(t,x)=v(t,x)+A^{-1}( pt) , \label{u} \end{equation} problem \eqref{ax} can be reduced to auxiliary nonlocal problem for $v(t,x)$ function: \begin{equation} \begin{gathered} -v_{tt}(t,x)+Av(t,x)=f(t,x),\quad 0
