Identifying a time-dependent zeroth-order coefficient in a time-fractional diffusion-wave equation by using the measured data at a boundary point. (English) Zbl 1498.35632

Summary: In this paper, we investigate a nonlinear inverse problem of identifying a time-dependent zeroth-order coefficient in a time-fractional diffusion-wave equation by using the measured data at a boundary point. We firstly prove the existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solution for the corresponding direct problem by using the contraction mapping principle. Then we try to give a conditional stability estimate for the inverse zeroth-order coefficient problem and propose a simple condition for the initial value and zeroth-order coefficient such that the uniqueness of the inverse coefficient problem is obtained. The Levenberg-Marquardt regularization method is applied to obtain a regularized solution. Based on the piecewise linear finite elements approximation, we find an approximate minimizer at each iteration by solving a linear system of algebraic equations in which the Fréchet derivative is obtained by solving a sensitive problem. Two numerical examples in one-dimensional case and two examples in two-dimensional case are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
