We study in what sense one can determine the function $k=k(x)$ in the scalar hyperbolic conservation law $u_t+(k(x)f(u))_x=0$ by observing the solution $u(t,\dott)$ of the Cauchy problem with initial data $u|_{t=0}=u_o$.
We investigate the equation $(u_t + (f(u))_x)_x = f''(u) (u_x)^2/2$ where $f(u)$ is a given smooth function. Typically $f(u)= u^2/2$ or $u^3/3$. This equation models unidirectional and weakly nonlinear waves for the variational wave…
