Inverse coefficient problem for differential equation in partial derivatives of a fourth order in time with integral over-determination

Abstract

Derivatives in time of higher order (more than two) arise in various fields such as acoustics, medical ultrasound, viscoelasticity and thermoelasticity. The inverse problems for higher order derivatives in time equations connected with recovery of the coefficient are scarce and need additional consideration. In this article the inverse problem of determination is considered which depends on time, lowest term coefficient in differential equation in partial derivatives of fourth order in time with initial and boundary conditions from an additional integral observation is considered. Under some conditions regularity, consistency and orthogonality of data by using of the contraction principle the unique solvability of the solution of the coefficient identification problem on a sufficiently small time interval has been proved
