Abstract:
      This paper deals with an inverse problem for the unknown source term in a nonlinear evolution equation. Firstly, the authors change the initial boundary value problem (IBVP) for the equation into a Cauchy problem for a certain nonlinear evolution equation. Secondly, using the semigroup theory, the authors establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution for the inverse problem. Finally, they take advantage of the fixed point method for some contraction mapping and get the solvability of the inverse problem for the evolution equation.
