The paper deals with the IBVP for the generalized KdV equation \[ \partial_t u = \partial_x^3 u + a(x) \partial_x f(u) + b(x)u + F(x,t), \quad 0 < x < l,\quad 0 < t < T, \] \[ u(x,0) = \xi_0(x),\;0 < x < l, \quad \partial_x u(t,0) = \xi_1 (t),\quad \partial_x^2 u(t,0) = \xi_2(t),\quad u(t,l) = \xi_3(t),\;0 < t < T, \] where \(l \in [0,+\infty]\) and when \(l = +\infty\), the last condition should be replaced by \(\lim\limits_{x \to +\infty} u(x,t) = 0\). The authors prove that the coefficient \(a(x)\) or \(b(x)\) is uniquely determined by the data and the observation \(u(0,t) = g(t), t \in [0,T^{'}]\) for some \(T^{'} \in (0,T]\).
