Abstract:
An initial boundary-value problem for a quasilinear system of partial differential equations with a nonlocal boundary condition involving a delayed argument is considered. The existence of a unique solution to this problem is proved by reducing it to a system of nonlinear integral-functional equations. The inverse problem of finding a solution-dependent coefficient of the system from additional information on a solution component specified at a fixed point of space as a function of time is formulated. The uniqueness of the solution of the inverse problem is proved. The proof is based on the derivation and analysis of an integral-functional equation for the difference between two solutions of the inverse problem.
