Iteration regularization method for a sideways problem of time-fractional diffusion equation (Q2084254)

The authors consider a sideways problem (inverse heat conduction problem) of time-fractional diffusion equations defined in semi-unbounded domains; these problems are ill-posed in the sense that the solution (if it exists) does not depend on the measured data. They construct an iterative regularization solution for the problem, and derive the a priori and a posteriori convergence results of Hölder type. They carry out numerical experiments to verify the effectiveness of their regularization method for the smooth and nonsmooth cases; the corresponding numerical results show that the proposed method is stable and feasible in dealing with the sideways problem of time-fractional diffusion equations.
