Abstract

En 中文
This research paper delves into the inverse problem of reconstructing the historical distribution for a nonlinear diffusion equation, taking into account the superposition operator with mixed fractional orders and time-varying coefficients. The investigated problem, which broadens the scope of several earlier models, arises naturally from the superposition of multiple stochastic processes with different scales, including classical random walks and L & eacute;vy flights. Utilizing the Banach fixed point theorem alongside suitable estimates, we prove the ill-posedness of the problem in the sense of Hadamard. We further propose a new version of the Volterra integral equation method, along with the globally Lipschitz approximation technique to regularize the problem in both cases: globally and locally Lipschitz reaction terms. A conditional stability estimate for the solution of the backward problem is also obtained. In the end, a variety of numerical tests, utilizing a combination of finite difference schemes and the fast Fourier transform algorithm, are showcased to exemplify the theoretical results.
