The coefficiental inverse problems were studied in the papers [2 – 4] (see also the references therein). For the input data of problem (1) – (4), we take the following assumptions: 10) for the function f = f (x, t, p) , we shall assume the following: the function f (x, t, p) is defined and continuous on the set A = { (x, t, p)|(x, t) ∈ Ω, p ∈ R1 } , for each m1 > 0 and for |p| < m1, the function f(x, t, p) is uniformly Hölder continuous in x and t of orders α and α/2, respectively, for each compact subset of A, there exists a constant m2 > 0 such that |f(x, t, p1)− f(x, t, p2)| ≤ m2 |p1 − p2| , holds for all p1, p2 and (x, t) ∈ Ω; 20) ϕ (x) ∈ C2+α ( D ) ; 30) for the function ψ = ψ(x, t, p), we shall assume the following: the function ψ(x, t, p) is defined and continuous on the set B = { (x, t, p)|(x, t) ∈ S, p ∈ R1 } , for each m3 > 0 and for |p| < m3, the function ψ(x, t, p) is uniformly Hölder continuous in x and t of orders α and α/2, respectively, for each compact subset of B, there exists a constant m4 > 0 such that |ψ(x, t, p1)− ψ(x, t, p2)| ≤ m4 |p1 − p2| , holds for all p1, p2 and (x, t) ∈ S; 40) h (x) ∈ C2+α ( D ) . Definition 1. The pair of functions {c (x) , u (x, t)} is called the solution of problem (1) – (4) if: 1) c (x) ∈ C ( D ) ; 2) u (x, t) ∈ C2,1 (Ω) ∩ C1,0 ( Ω ) ; 3) the conditions (1) – (4) hold for these functions, here the condition (3) is defined in the following sense: ∂u (x, t) ∂ν (x, t) = lim y→x y∈σ ∂u (y, t) ∂ν (x, t) , here σ is any closed cone with a vertex x, contained in D ∪ {x} . The uniqueness theorem and the estimation of stability of the solutions of inverse problems occupy a central place in investigation of their well-posedness. In the paper, the uniqueness of the solution of problem (1) – (4) is proved under more general assumptions and the estimation characterizing the „conditional” stability of the problem is established. Define the set Kα as Kα = {(u, c)|u(x, t) ∈ C2+α,1+α/2(Ω), c(x) ∈ Cα(D), ISSN 1027-3190.

Let {ui (x, t) , ci (x)} be the solutions (1) – (4) corresponding to the given functions. Definition 2. A solution of problem (1) – (4) is called stable if for any ε > 0 there is a δ (ε) > 0 such that for ‖f1 − f2‖0 < δ, ‖ϕ1 − ϕ2‖2 < δ, ‖ψ1 − ψ2‖0 < δ, ‖h1 − h2‖2 < δ the inequality ‖u1 − u2‖0 + ‖c1 − c2‖0 ≤ ε is fulfilled. Theorem 1. Let: 1) fi, ϕi, ψi, hi, i = 1, 2, satisfy conditions 10 – 40, respectively; 2) there exist the solutions {ui (x, t) , ci (x)} , i = 1, 2, of problem (1) – (4) in the sense of Definition 1, and let they belong to the set Kα. Then there exists a T ∗ > 0 such that for (x, t) ∈ D × [0, T ∗] the solution of problem (1) – (4) is unique, and the stability estimation ‖u1 − u2‖0 + ‖c1 − c2‖0 ≤ ≤ m7 [‖f1 − f2‖0 + ‖ϕ1 − ϕ2‖2 + ‖ψ1 − ψ2‖0 + ‖h1 − h2‖2] (5) is valid, here m7 > 0 depends on the data of the problem (1) – (4) and on the set Kα. Proof. First, we prove the validity of the estimation (5). Taking into account (2) and the conditions of the theorem, from equation (1) for the function c (x) we have c (x) = − u (x, T )− ϕ (x)−∆h (x)− T∫ 0 f (x, t, u) dt  (h (x))−1 . (6) Denote by z (x, t) = u1 (x, t)− u2 (x, t) , λ (x) = c1 (x)− c2 (x) , δ1 (x, t, p) = f1 (x, t, p)− f2 (x, t, p) , δ2 (x) = ϕ1 (x)− ϕ2 (x) , δ3 (x, t, p) = ψ1 (x, t, p)− ψ2 (x, t, p) , δ4 (x) = h1 (x)− h2 (x) . One can verify that the functions λ (x) , w (x, t) = z (x, t)−δ2 (x) satisfy the following conditions: wt −∆w = F (x, t) , (x, t) ∈ Ω, (7) w (x, 0) = 0, x ∈ D; ∂w ∂ν (x, t) = Ψ (x, t) , (x, t) ∈ S, (8) λ (x) = z (x, T ) (h1 (x))−1 −H (x) , x ∈ D, (9) where F (x, t) = δ1 (x, t, u1) + ∆δ2 (x)− c1 (x) z (x, t)− −λ (x)u2 (x, t) + f2(x, t, u1)− f2(x, t, u2), ISSN 1027-3190.

Under the conditions of the theorem, if follows that there exists a classic solution of problem (7), (8) on determination of w (x, t) and it may be represented in the following form [5, p. 182]: w (x, t) = t∫ 0 ∫ D Γ (x, t; ξ, τ)F (ξ, τ) dξdτ + t∫ 0 ∫ ∂D Γ (x, t; ξ, τ) ρ (ξ, τ) dξ0dτ, (10) here Γ (x, t; ξ, τ) is a fundamental solution of the equation wt−∆w = 0, dξ = dξ1 . . . dξn, dξ0 is an element of the surface ∂D, ρ (x, t)is a continuous bounded solution of the following integral equation [5, p. 182]: ρ (x, t) = 2 t∫ 0 ∫ D ∂Γ (x, t; ξ, τ) ∂ν (x, t) F (ξ, τ) dξdτ+ +2 t∫ 0 ∫ ∂D ∂Γ (x, t; ξ, τ) ∂ν (x, t) ρ (ξ, τ) dξ0dτ − 2Ψ (x, t) .

(14) Due to requirements imposed on the input data and on the set Kα, the integrand function F (x, t) in the second summand of the right-hand side of (12), satisfies the estimation |F (x, t)| ≤ |δ1 (x, t, u1)|+ |∆δ2 (x)|+ |c1 (x)| |z (x, t)|+ +|λ(x)||u2(x, t)|+ |f2(x, t, u1)− f2(x, t, u2)| ≤ ≤ ‖f1 − f2‖0 + ‖ϕ1 − ϕ2‖2 +m10χ, (x, t) ∈ Ω, (15) here m10 > 0 depends on the data of problem (1) – (4) and the set Kα. From the Gauss – Ostrogradsky formula and (14) for s = 1, we have∫ ∂D Γ (x, t; ξ, τ) dξ0 ≤ m11(t− τ)− 1−α 2 . (16) Taking into account expression (11), (14) for s = 1 and s = 2, the conditions of the theorem, determination of the set Kα for the function ρ (x, t) we get |ρ (x, t)| ≤ m12 [‖δ1‖0 + ‖δ2‖2 + ‖δ3‖0 + χ] +m13 ‖ρ‖ tα/2, (x, t) ∈ S, where m12,m13 > 0 depend on the data of problem (1) – (4) and on the set Kα. The last inequality is fulfilled for all (x, t) ∈ ∂D × [0, T ] , therefore the following estimation is true: ‖ρ‖0 ≤ m12 [‖δ1‖0 + ‖δ2‖2 + ‖δ3‖0 + χ] +m13t α/2 ‖ρ‖0 . Let 0 < T1 ≤ T be a number such that m13T α/2 1 < 1. Then for all (x, t) ∈ ∂D× [0, T1] we have ‖ρ‖0 ≤ m14 [‖δ1‖0 + ‖δ2‖2 + ‖δ3‖0 + χ] , (17) where m14 > 0 depends on the data of problem (1) – (4) and on the set Kα. Taking into account inequalities (13), (15), (16) and (17) from (12) for |z (x, t)| we get |z (x, t)| ≤ m15 [‖δ1‖0 + ‖δ2‖2 + ‖δ3‖0] +m16χt α, (x, t) ∈ Ω, (18) where m15, m16 > 0 depend on the data of problem (1) – (4) and the set Kα. Now estimate the function |λ (x)| . From (9) it follows |λ (x)| ≤ |z (x, t)| ∣∣∣h1 (x)−1 ∣∣∣+ |H (x)| . ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2014, т. 66, № 6 852 A.YA. AKHUNDOV, A. I.

Inequalities (18) and (19) are satisfied for any values of (x, t) ∈ D × [0, T ] . Consequently, combining these inequalities, we obtain χ ≤ m19 [‖δ1‖0 + ‖δ2‖2 + ‖δ3‖0 + ‖δ4‖2] +m20t αχ, (20) where m19,m20 > 0 depend on the data of problem (1) – (4) and the set Kα. Let T2 (0 < T2 ≤ T ) be a number such that m20T α 2 < 1. Then from (20) we get that for (x, t) ∈ D× [0, T ∗] , T ∗ = min (T1, T2) , the stability estimation for the solution of problem (1) – (4) is true. Uniqueness of the solution of problem (1) – (4) follows from estimation (5) for f1 (x, t, u) = = f2 (x, t, u) , ϕ1 (x) = ϕ2 (x) , ψ1 (x, t, u) = ψ2 (x, t, u) , h1 (x) = h2 (x) .
