Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of the stability of time-dependent source identification telegraph type differential problems with dependent coefficients. Time-dependent source identification problems (SIPs) for telegraph differential equations (TDEs) with constant coefficients can be solved by classical integral-transform methods. However, these classical methods can be used, basically, in cases where the differential equation has constant coefficients. We establish the basic theorem of the stability of the time-dependent SIPs for the second-order linear differential equation (DE) in a Hilbert space with a self-adjoint positive definite operator (SAPDO) and damping term. In practice, stability estimates for the solution of the three types of SIPs for one-dimensional and for multidimensional TDEs with dependent coefficients and classic and non-classic conditions are obtained.
