Abstract:
In this paper, we study an inverse problem for hyperbolic equation. This problem arises when we consider vibration of a nonhomogeneous bar if one endpoint is fixed by spring but behavior of the
other is unknown and is the subject to find. Overdetermination is given in the form of integral with respect to spacial variable. Unique solvability of this problem is proved under some conditions on data.
The proof is based on a priori estimates in Sobolev space.
Keywords:hyperbolic equation, inverse problem, integral overdetermination.
