Iterative method for solving an inverse coefficient problem for a hyperbolic equation

For a hyperbolic equation, we consider an inverse coefficient problem in which the unknown coefficient occurs in both the equation and the initial condition. The solution values on a given curve serve as additional information for determining the unknown coefficient. We suggest an iterative method for solving the inverse problem based on reduction to a nonlinear operator equation for the unknown coefficient and prove the uniform convergence of the iterations to a function that is a solution of the inverse problem.
