contents We consider inverse boundary value problems for the Jordan-Moore-Gibson-Thompson (JMGT) equation in nonlinear acoustics with quadratic nonlinearities of Kuznetsov-type and Westervelt-type. We show that the associated boundary Dirichlet-to-Neumann map uniquely determines the nonlinear coefficients $β$ in the Westervelt-type model, and the pair $(β,κ)$ in the Kuznetsov-type model, provided that the observation time is greater than the maximal boundary-to-boundary geodesic travel time. The results are obtained in both the Euclidean setting and on compact Riemannian manifolds with proper geometric assumptions. The proof is based on the idea of second order linearization combined with the construction of geometric optics and Gaussian beam solutions, reducing the inverse problem of uniqueness to the injectivity of associated geodesic ray transforms.
