Uniqueness of the solution of an inverse problem for a quasilinear parabolic equation in divergence form (Q910578)

Summary: The quasilinear parabolic differential equation \(u_ t=div(a(u)\text{grad} u)\) with a constant initial condition and a boundary condition of the first kind is considered where a is a positiv analytic function of u. Under some additional assumptions on u a uniqueness theorem for the determination of the coefficient a is proved.
