Determining of a Space Dependent Coefficient of Fractional Diffusion Equation with the Generalized Riemann–Liouville Time Derivative
Abstract
This work investigates an initial-boundary value and an inverse coefficient problem of determining a space dependent coefficient in the fractional wave equation with the generalized Riemann–Liouville (Hilfer) time derivative. In the beginning, it is considered the initial boundary value problem (direct problem). By the Fourier method, this problem is reduced to equivalent integral equations, which contain Mittag-Leffler type functions in free terms and kernels. Then, using the technique of estimating these functions and the generalized Gronwall inequality, we get a priori estimate for solution via unknown coefficient which will be used to study the inverse problem. The inverse problem is reduced to the equivalent integral equation of Volterra type. To show existence unique solution to this equation the Schauder principle is applied. The local existence and uniqueness results are obtained.
