AN INVERSE TIME-DEPENDENT SOURCE PROBLEM FOR DISTRIBUTED-ORDER
TIME-SPACE FRACTIONAL DIFFUSION EQUATION
Abstract
This paper focuses on the inverse time-dependent source term problem in
a distributed-order time-space fractional diffusion equation (DTSFDE)
using initial and boundary conditions and boundary Cauchy data. Firstly,
we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the direct
problem under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. Additionally,
based on regularity of the solution to the direct problem, uniqueness
and stability estimates for the inverse problem are established.
Subsequently, we convert the inverse problem into a variational problem
using the Tikhonov regularization method, and used the conjugate
gradient algorithm to solve the variational problem, obtaining an
approximate solution to the inverse source problem. Finally, we validate
the effectiveness and stability of the proposed algorithm through
numerical examples.
