Abstract

Considering differential equations of second order which contain a term in the form

$$ {(a{u_x})_x} + bu $$

where a = a(x,u) and b = b(x,u), conditions for the identifiability of the coefficients a and b are given.

The results can be found in a detailed from in the paper Identifiability of distributed parameters for a class of quasilinear differential equations submitted by Journal of Inverse and III-Posed Problems.
