Giving an additional condition, a time-dependent coefficient multiplying a linear term is determined and existence and uniqueness theorem for small times is proved. The finite difference method is proposed for solving the inverse problem numerically.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMathematical SciencesMatematikArticle10.32323/ujma.43966213178185
