We are concerned with the possibility of identifying the real parameters a and b on the right-hand side of the equation u = au + b 0 inω R 2 (0.1) for a function u satisfying the boundary conditions u = 0, ∂u/∂ν = on ∂ω (0.2) with any fixed sufficiently smooth function ≡ 0.In the case of a smooth curve γ = ∂ω, we provide a sufficient condition, under which the pair (a, b) can be uniquely reconstructed through the specified function . On the basis of this sufficient condition, we show that there are at most finitely many pairs (a, b) if ω is (simply connected and) different from a disc.If ω has a corner we prove that the pair (a, b) is unique and can be calculated explicitly if is known on one side near the corner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
