Let $u_t-a(t)u_{xx}=f(x, t)$ in $0\leq x \leq \pi,\,\,t\geq 0.$ Assume that $u(0,t)=u_1(t)$, $u(\pi,t)=u_2(t)$, $u(x,0)=h(x)$, and the extra data $u_x(0,t)=g(t)$ are known. The inverse problem is: {\it How does one determine the unknown…
In this paper, we study several inverse problems associated with a fractional differential equation of the following form: \[ (-\Delta)^s u(x)+\sum_{k=0}^N a^{(k)}(x) [u(x)]^k=0,\ \ 0<s<1,\ N\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}\cup\{\infty\}, \] which is…
