Abstract

In this paper we prove both the existence and uniqueness of a solution to an identification problem for a first order linear differential equation in a general Banach space. Namely, we extend the explicit representation for the solution of this problem previously obtained by Anikonov and Lorenzi [1] to the case of an infinitesimal generator of an analytic $C_0$-semigroup of contractions to the general nonanalytic case and also to the case of a restriction expressed in terms of an operator-valued measure. So, our abstract result handles both parabolic and hyperbolic equations and systems.

Keywords:

Identification problem; first-order linear differential equation; unknown right-hand side; representation formula; $C_0$-semigroup of contractions; heat equation; wave equation.
