Abstract:
In this talk, we discuss inverse problems related to determining the time-dependent coefficient and unknown source function of fractional heat equations. Our approach shows that having just one set of data at an observation point ensures the existence of a weak solution for the inverse problem. Furthermore, if there is an additional datum at the observation point, it leads to a specific formula for the time-dependent source coefficient. Moreover, we investigate inverse problems involving non-local data and recovering the space-dependent source function of the fractional heat equation. We also discuss extensions of these results to time and space fractional heat equations. The talk is based on our recent results.
