Abstract: This paper deals with an inverse problem for a quasi-linear parabolic partial differential equation that contains a nonlocal in time term that includes an integral of the solution over the entire time interval where the problem is considered. Moreover, the overdetermination condition for this inverse problem is nonlocal in space. So, the problem has a double nonlocality: in time and in space. This problem describes the chaotic dynamics of a polymer chain in a liquid. The time variable corresponds to the arc length along the chain. The time nonlocality stands in the argument of the so-called interaction potential. Its appearance is caused by the fact that the motion of each link of a chain is affected by all other links through the surrounded fluid. The solvability of the problem in Hölder spaces in the case of a bounded interaction potential is proven. Moreover, the solvability is also proven in the case of an unbounded potential with certain restrictions on its behavior on some finite interval.
