The inverse problem of reconstructing the initial state in quasilinear parabolic equations from time averages is investigated. Under suitable regularity assumptions on the quasilinear structure and a superlinear growth condition near zero for the semilinear part, it is shown that the initial state can be uniquely recovered from small time averages taken over an arbitrary time period. The applicability of the result is demonstrated for certain chemotaxis models and reaction-diffusion systems.
