Let j : = - d ² / d x ² + k ² q j ( x ) , k = const > 0, j = 1,2, 0 < e s s i n f q j ( x ) e s s s u p q j ( x ) < . Suppose that (*) 0 1 p ( x ) u ( x , k ) u ( x , k ) d x = 0 for all k > 0, where p is an arbitrary fixed bounded piecewise-analytic function on [0,1], which changes sign finitely many times, and u j solves the problem j u j = 0 , 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, u j ' ( 0 , k ) = 0 , u j ( 0 , k ) = 1 . It is proved that (*) implies p = 0. This result is applied to an inverse problem for a heat equation.

Suppose that (*) $∫_{0}^{1} p(x)u₁(x,k)u₂(x,k)dx = 0$ for all k > 0, where p is an arbitrary fixed bounded piecewise-analytic function on [0,1], which changes sign finitely many times, and $u_j$ solves the problem $ℓ_ju_j = 0$, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, $u^{\prime }_j(0,k) = 0$, $u_j(0,k) = 1$. It is proved that (*) implies p = 0. This result is applied to an inverse problem for a heat equation.
