Abstract

This investigation centers on the analysis of an inverse hyperbolic partial differential equation, specifically addressing a coefficient inverse problem that emerges under the imposition of an over-determination condition. In order to address this challenging problem, we employ the well-established homotopy analysis technique, which has proven to be an effective and reliable approach in similar contexts. By utilizing this technique, our primary objective is to achieve an efficient and accurate solution to the inverse problem at hand. To substantiate the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed method, we present a numerical example as a practical illustration, demonstrating its applicability in real-world scenarios.
