We discuss the identification of a time-dependent potential in a time-fractional diffusion model from a boundary measurement taken at a single point. Theoretically, we establish a conditional Lipschitz stability for this inverse problem.…
In the paper, the problems of approximate controllability are studied for the control system $w_t=\Delta w$, $w(0,x_2,t)=u(x_2,t)$, $x_1\in\mathbb R_+=(0,+\infty)$, $x_2\in\mathbb R$, $t\in(0,T)$, where $u$ is a control belonging to a…
