Abstract
We present the inverse problem of successive determination of the two unknowns that are a coefficient characterizing the properties of a medium with weakly horizontal inhomogeneity and the kernel of an integral operator describing the memory of the medium. The direct initial-boundary value problem involves the zero data and the Neumann boundary condition. The trace of the Fourier image of a solution to the direct problem on the boundary of the medium serves as additional information. Studying inverse problems, we assume that the unknown coefficient is expanded into an asymptotic series in powers of a small parameter. Also, we construct some method for finding the coefficient that accounts for the memory of the environment to within an error of order \( O(\varepsilon^{2}) \). At the first stage, we determine a solution to the direct problem in the zero approximation and the kernel of the integral operator, while the inverse problem reduces to an equivalent problem of solving the system of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the second kind. At the second stage, we consider the kernel given and recover a solution to the direct problem in the first approximation and the unknown coefficient. In this case, the solution to the equivalent inverse problem agrees with a solution to the linear system of Volterra integral equations of the second kind. We prove some theorems on the unique local solvability of the inverse problems and present the results of numerical calculations of the kernel and the coefficient.
