Abstract
In this paper we consider an inverse problem for the differential equationu t =u xx +q(x, t) u; the problem amounts to finding the coefficient q(x, t) from the solution of a series of Cauchy problems for this equation, the solution being specified on some manifold. Our main result is a proof of a uniqueness theorem.
