Abstract:
This work studies direct initial boundary value and inverse coefficient determination problems for a one-dimensional partial differential equation with multi-term orders fractional Riemann–Liouville derivatives. The unique solvability of the direct problem is investigated and a priori estimates for its solution are obtained in weighted spaces, which will be used for studying the inverse problem. Then, the inverse problem is equivalently reduced to a nonlinear integral equation. The fixed-point principle is used to prove the unique solvability of this equation.
