Nonlocal Inverse Problem for a Parabolic Equation with Degeneration

Abstract

We establish conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a classical solution of the inverse problem of determination of the time-dependent coefficient of the higher-order derivative in a parabolic equation with degeneration in the coefficient of the time derivative. We impose boundary conditions of the second kind and a nonlocal overdetermination condition. The case of weak degeneration is investigated.
