For a space-time fractional diffusion equation, an inverse problem of determination of a space dependent source term along with the solution is considered. The fractional derivatives in time and space are defined in the sense of Caputo. Due to an over-specified data at final time say T, we proved that there exists a unique solution of the inverse source problem. We use the eigenfunction expansion method to prove our main results. Several special cases of space-time fractional diffusion equations are discussed and results are interpolated from generalized results. Some examples are provided.
This paper presents a thorough study of a time-dependent nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) differential equation with a time-fractional derivative. The fractional time complex transform is used to convert the problem into its differential partner, and its nonlinear part is then discretized using He’s polynomials so that the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) can be applied powerfully. The two-scale concept is used to explain the substantial meaning of the fractional time complex transform and the solution.
An inverse problem of determining a time‐dependent source term from the total energy measurement of the system (the over‐specified condition) for a space‐time fractional diffusion equation is considered. The space‐time fractional diffusion equation is obtained from classical diffusion equation by replacing time derivative with fractional‐order time derivative and Sturm‐Liouville operator by fractional‐order Sturm‐Liouville operator. The existence and uniqueness results are proved by using eigenfunction expansion method. Several special cases are discussed, and particular examples are provided.
