“…A time-fractional diffusion equation occurs when replacing the standard time derivative with a time fractional derivative and can be applied in modeling of some problems in porous flows, rheology and mechanical systems, models of a variety of biological processes, control and robotics, transport in fusion plasmas, and many other areas of applications. The direct problems corresponding to the time-fractional diffusion equations have been studied extensively in recent years, including uniqueness and existence results [2], some analytical or numerical solutions [13,7,31], and numerical methods such as finite element methods or finite difference methods [12,14]. Here, we focus on an interesting inverse problem defined to the fractional inverse problem pioneered by Murio [18,16,17].…”
