Abstract: In this work, we consider a FDE (fractional diffusion equation) ${\displaystyle }${}^C D_t^alpha u(x,t)-a(t)mathcal{L} u(x,t)=F(x,t)${\displaystyle }$ with a time-dependent diffusion coefficient $a(t)$. For the direct problem, given an $a(t),$ we establish the existence, uniqueness and some regularity properties with a more general domain $Omega$ and right-hand side $F(x,t)$. For the inverse problem--recovering $a(t),$ we introduce an operator $K$ one of whose fixed points is $a(t)$ and show its monotonicity, uniqueness and existence of its fixed points. With these properties, a reconstruction algorithm for $a(t)$ is created and some numerical results are provided to illustrate the theories.
