Inverse problem for the system of viscoelasticity in anisotropic media with tetragonal form of elasticity modulus

For the reduced canonical system of integro-differential equations of viscoelasticity, direct and inverse problems of determining the velocity field of elastic waves and the relaxation matrix are considered. The problems are replaced by a closed system of Volterra integral equations of the second kind with respect to the Fourier transform in the variables $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ for the solution of the direct problem and unknowns of the inverse problem. Further, the method of contraction mappings in the space of continuous functions with a weighted norm is applied to this system. Thus, we prove global existence and uniqueness theorems for solutions of the problems.
