The paper concerns the inverse problem for the degenerate differential equation of first order of the following form:
\[ \begin{aligned} {d\over{dt}}(Mu)+Lu=f(t)z&, \quad 0\leq t\leq\tau,\\ (Mu)(0)=Mu_0&,\\ \Phi[Mu(t)]=g(t)&, \quad 0\leq t\leq\tau, \end{aligned} \]
where \(M,L\) are closed linear operators in a reflexive Banach space \(X\), \(\Phi\in X^*\) and \(L\) is invertible. The considered identification problem consists in determining \(u\), and \(f\) under some regularity assumptions, satisfying the above differential equation with given \(u_0\) and \(g\) satisfying the compatibility condition \(\Phi[Mu_0]=g(0)\). A question of solvability of such a identification problem is investigated.
The main results concern the existence of a unique solution under assumptions on \(M\) and \(L\) less restrictive than those in recent publications [for example M. Al Horani, Matematiche 57, No. 2, 217–227 (2002; Zbl 1072.34055)]. Finally, the abstract results are applied to 3 examples of concrete identification problems for partial differential equations.
