A Uniqueness Result for an Inverse Problem in a Space-time Fractional Diffusion Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fractional (nonlocal) diffusion equations replace the integer-order derivatives in space and time by fractional-order derivatives. This article considers a nonlocal inverse problem and shows that the exponents of the fractional time and space derivatives are determined uniquely by the data u(t, 0) = g(t), 0 < t < T . The uniqueness result is a theoretical background for determining experimentally the order of many anomalous diffusion phenomena, which are important in physics and in environmental engineering.

In this study, an inverse source problem for a one-dimensional timefractional diffusion equation is considered.
