“…For piecewise-constant thermal conductivity coefficients a(x) with finitely many discontinuity points, IP 1 was studied recently in [2]. An inverse problem for equation (3) with different extra data, namely U (ξ n , t) for t > 0, ξ n ∈ [0, 1], 1 ≤ n ≤ N , min 1≤n≤N |ξ n − ξ n+1 | ≥ σ > 0, where σ is a fixed number, N = 3ν, and ν is the number of discontinuity points of a, was studied in [1].…”
