On one nonlocal inverse boundary problem for the Benney – Luke equation with integral conditions

Abstract

An inverse boundary value problem for the Benney-Luke equation with periodic and integral condition is investigated. The definition of a classical solution of the problem is introduced. The goal of this paper is to determine the unknown coefficient and to solve the problem of interest. The problem is considered in a rectangular domain. To investigate the solvability of the inverse problem, we perform a conversion from the original problem to some auxiliary inverse problem with trivial boundary conditions. By the contraction mapping principle we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the auxiliary problem. Then we make a conversion to the stated problem again and, as a result, we obtain the solvability of the inverse problem.
