            Abstract : 
In this paper, a uniqueness theorem for a nonlinear parabolic inverse problem was proved, that is, the nonlinear diffusion coefficient of a multidimensional nonlinear parabolic equation can be identified under certain conditions. Our approach is based on a kind of integral estimate for free boundary problem used in Cannon and Yin [3].
