Abstract
This paper discusses identifiability of the spatially varying parameter α(x) in the heat equation uₜ - (αuₓ)ₓ= f from measurement of u at a single point. The identifiability problem is formulated as an inverse Sturm–Liouville problem for (αy′)′ + λy = 0 . It is proved that the eigenvalues and the normalizing constants determine the above Sturm–Liouville operator uniquely. Identifiability and nonidentifiability results are obtained for three heat conduction problems.
