Abstract

In this article, we study the one-dimensional inverse problem of determining the memory kernel by the integral overdetermination condition for the direct problem of finding the velocity potential and the displacement of boundary points. A wave equation with initial and acoustic boundary conditions in media with dispersion is used as a mathematical model. The inverse problem is reduced to an equivalent problem with homogeneous boundary conditions for the system of integro-differential equations. Using the technique of estimating integral equations and the contraction mappings principle in Sobolev spaces, the global existence and uniqueness theorem for the inverse problem is proved.
