Abstract

In this article we study an inverse problem for the space-time fractional parabolic operator (tΔ)s+Q(\partial_t-\Delta)^s+Q with 0<s<10<s<1 in any space dimension. We uniquely determine the unknown bounded potential QQ from infinitely many exterior Dirichlet-to-Neumann type measurements. This relies on Runge approximation and the dual global weak unique continuation properties of the equation under consideration. In discussing weak unique continuation of our operator, a main feature of our argument relies on a Carleman estimate for the associated fractional parabolic Caffarelli-Silvestre extension. Furthermore, we also discuss constructive single measurement results based on the approximation and unique continuation properties of the equation.
