The Schr\"odinger equation $i \partial_t^\rho u(x,t)-u_{xx}(x,t) = p(t)q(x) + f(x,t)$ ( $0<t\leq T, \, 0<\rho<1$), with the Riemann-Liouville derivative is considered. An inverse problem is investigated in which, along with $u(x,t)$, also a…

For a time-independent potential $q\in L^\infty$, consider the source-to-solution operator that maps a source $f$ to the solution $u=u(t,x)$ of $(\Box+q)u=f$ in Euclidean space with an obstacle, where we impose on $u$ vanishing Cauchy data…

We investigate the $p-$Laplace heat equation $u_t-\Delta_p u=\zeta(t)f(u)$ on a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$. Using differential inequalities arguments, we prove blow-up results under suitable conditions on $\zeta, f$,…
