Inverse Coefficient Problem for a Two-Dimensional Parabolic Equation in a Domain with Free Boundary

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We establish the conditions of unique solvability of the inverse problem of finding the minor coefficient of a two-dimensional parabolic equation in the domain for which the location of a part of its boundary is described by a function in the form of a product of an unknown function of time and a given function of the space variable.
