Abstract

- We consider an integrodifferential system arising in the theory of spread of infection. We formulate the inverse problem, consisting in determine the unknowns u (susceptible population), v (infective population) and the convolution kernel h, (representing the time depending transfer mechanism of infection) in an abstract setting, relating it to a Banach space X. We prove an abstract existence and uniqueness theorem for the abstract inverse problem and we apply it to the concrete case of the epidemic equations.
