On the determination of the coefficients in the viscoelasticity equations (Q404721)

For the vectorial integrodifferential equation \(\rho(x)u_{tt}-Lu=F\) describing the wave propagation in some composite materials, where \(u=(u_1,u_2,u_3)\) -- the elastic displacement vector, \(\rho(x)\) -- the medium density, \(F=(F_1,F_2,F_3)\) the external force vector and the integrodifferential operator \(L=(L_1,L_2,L_3)\) is defined by the equalities \[ \begin{multlined} L_iu\sum\limits_{j=1}^{3}\frac{\partial \sigma_{ij}(u)}{\partial x_j},\; \sigma_{ij}(u)=\lambda(x)\delta_{ij}\mathrm{div }u(x,t)+\mu(x)\left(\frac{\partial u_i(x,t)}{\partial x_j}+\frac{\partial u_j(x,t)}{\partial x_i}\right)\\ +\int\limits_{-\infty}^t\left[p(x,t-s)\delta_{ij}\mathrm{div }u(x,s)+q(x,t-s)\left(\frac{\partial u_i(x,t)}{\partial x_j}+\frac{\partial u_j(x,t)}{\partial x_i}\right)\right]ds,\; i,j=1,2,3 \end{multlined}\tag{1} \] (\(\lambda(x), \mu(x)\) are the elasticity moduli; \(\lambda(x) +\mu(x)>0, \mu(x)>0\); the functions \(p(x,t)\) and \(q(x,t)\) characterize the medium viscosity). It is solved the inverse problem on the determination of the functions \(\lambda(x),\mu(x),p(x,t),q(x,t)\) from the information about the solutions family to some direct problems to (1) at the assumption that \(\rho(x)\) is a given function. Solution uniqueness theorems for inverse problems are proved.
