Abstract

Basic inverse problems for identification of memory kernels in linear heat conduction and viscoelasticity in the infinite time interval (0;1) are treated by Laplace transform method in coupling with Fourier’s method for the direct initial-boundary value problem of the corresponding integro-differential equation. Under suitable assumptions on the data existence and uniqueness of the memory kernel are shown.
