Abstract:

In this paper, an inverse diffusion problem with the Caputo fractional derivative in time is considered. We prove that such a problem is ill-posed and apply the Landweber iteration method. The selection criteria for the number of iterations (regularization parameter) under both prior and posterior conditions are provided respectively, along with a rigorous mathematical proof of the convergence of the method. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of this method.

Key words: fractional inverse diffusion problem, Landweber iterative method, a priori and a posteriori iteration choice rules, error estimate
