Abstract

In this article we study two inverse problems of recovering a space-time-dependent source component from the lateral boundary observation in a subdiffusion model. The mathematical model involves a Djrbashian-Caputo fractional derivative of order α ∊ (0, 1) in time, and a second-order elliptic operator with time-dependent coefficients. We establish a well-posedness and a conditional stability result for the inverse problems using a novel perturbation argument and refined regularity estimates of the associated direct problem. Further, we present a numerical algorithm for efficiently and accurately reconstructing the source component, and we provide several two-dimensional numerical results showing the feasibility of the recovery.
