Inverse source problem for a fractional diffusion equation with final overdetermination is discussed for its well-posedness in the Hadamard sense except for discrete values of diffusion constants.

Abstract

For a time fractional diffusion equation with source term, we discuss an inverse problem of determining a spatially varying function of the source by final overdetermining data. We prove that this inverse problem is well-posed in the Hadamard sense except for a discrete set of values of diffusion constants.
