For one nonlinear parabolic second-order equation with unbounded coefficient and weak degeneration as $t = 0$ the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the Cauchy problem are established. On basis of this result the theorem on existence and uniqueness of a solution of the problem: to find the coefficient of unknown function in appropriate linear parabolic equation, is proved.
