The Identification of the Time-Dependent Source Term in Time-Fractional Diffusion-Wave Equations

Abstract

An inverse time-dependent source problem for a multi-dimensional fractional diffusion wave equation is considered. The regularity of the weak solution for the direct problem under strong conditions is studied and the unique solvability of the inverse problem is proved. The regularised variational problem is solved by the conjugate gradient method combined with Morozov's discrepancy principle. Numerical examples show the stability and efficiency of the method.
