Abstract
This talk considers the problem of determining unknown coefficients in a first order hyperbolic operator subject to both initial and boundary data We wish to recover either this data or coefficients that occur in the equation itself or in the boundary conditions.
This research was supported in part by AFOSR and NSF through grant #DMS8701338 and by ONR through grant #ONR N00014-89-J1008.
