Abstract:
 In this article, we consider the problem of identifying an unknown coefficient
 in a  nonlinear diffusion equation. Under appropriate conditions, we prove
 the existence and the uniqueness of solution for the inverse problem.
 For the numerical solution of the inverse problem, a numerical method based
 on discretization of the minimization problem, steepest descent method and
 least squares approach is proposed.  A numerical example is given to
 illustrate applicability and high accuracy of the proposed method.
