A numerical method for solving retrospective inverse problem of fractional parabolic equation

Abstract

An effective numerical method for solving the inverse problem of time fractional parabolic equation is constructed in this paper. We use implicit finite difference method to discretize the problem and for the inverse problem we propose a conjugate gradient type regularization method to solve the discretized ill-posed linear systems. By comparing the different errors and the results with different perturbed data in several numerical experiments, our method is shown to solve the inverse problem, even with some noisy measurements, efficiently and stably.
