Recovering a time- and space-dependent kernel in a hyperbolic integro-differential equation from a restricted Dirichlet-to-Neumann Operator

Jaan Janno

Abstract:
We prove that a space- and time-dependent kernel occurring in a hyperbolic integro-differential equation in three space dimensions can be uniquely reconstructed from the restriction of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator of the equation into a set of Dirichlet data of the form of products of a fixed time-dependent coefficient times arbitrary space-dependent functions.
