Identification of a time-dependent diffusivity coefficient in heat-like space-time fractional differential equations

Abstract

The goal of this research is to reveal the unknown time dependent diffusion coefficient in space-time fractional differential equations by means of fractional Taylor series method. Unlike most methods used in inverse problems, using no over-measured data is a substantial advantage of this method. As a result, the unknown diffusion coefficient could be determined with high precision. Illustrative examples shows that the retrieved unknown coefficient and the solution of the problem are in a high agreement with the exact solution of the corresponding the inverse problems.
