On the inverse problem of time dependent coefficient in a time fractional diffusion problem by sinc wavelet collocation method

Abstract

The object of this study is to establish the unknown function in a time fractional diffusion problem and the solution as well by utilizing Sinc wavelet collocation method (SWCM) and residual power series method (RPSM) together. SWCM enables us to convert time fractional diffusion problem into a system of fractional ordinary differential and algebraic equations. At this stage, the unknown function and the solution are constructed in the series form by employing RPSM. The novelty of this study is that the combination of SWCM and RPSM is utilized to establish the solution of inverse coefficient problem for the first time. Demonstrative examples are presented to articulate the implementation and importance of the proposed method.
