Summary: We justify statements in Hölder classes for ill-posed inverse problems with terminal observation for parabolic equations with unknown coefficients multiplying lower-order terms or lower-order derivatives. On the basis of the duality principle, we prove sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of solutions in these classes. We present examples of instability and loss of uniqueness.
