Determination of a Multidimensional Kernel in Some Parabolic Integro-differential Equation

A multidimensional parabolic integro-differential equation with the time-convolution integral on the right side is considered. The direct problem is represented by the Cauchy problem for this equation. The inverse problem is studied in this paper. The problem consists in finding the time and spatial dependent kernel of the equation from the solution of direct problem in a hyperplane x(n) = 0 for t > 0. This problem is reduced to the more convenient inverse problem with the use of the resolvent kernel. The last problem is replaced by the equivalent system of integral equations with respect to unknown functions. The unique solvability of the direct and inverse problems is proved with use of the principle of contraction mapping.
