    Numerical techniques for the identification of parameter functions are discussed that may be interpreted as transmissibility coefficients from solutions of one-dimensional linear and nonlinear differential equation problems. The associated direct problems are formulated in four versions as initial value problems for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations with unknown parameter functions depending, on the one hand, on the location variable and on time or, on the other hand, on the function values of solutions. The authors mention for example inverse problems related to groundwater modeling and reservoir simulation as a practical background of the considerations. The suggested methods combining mollification and finite difference techniques try to overcome the well-known ill-posedness effects of the identification problems. For some of the problems a stability and convergence analysis is presented. The numerical performance of the developed algorithms is expressed by some nice examples illustrating the theoretical assertions.
