Final value problem for nonlinear time fractional reaction–diffusion equation with discrete data

Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem of finding the solution of a multi-dimensional time fractional reaction–diffusion equation with nonlinear source from the final value data. We prove that the present problem is not well-posed. Then regularized problems are constructed using the truncated expansion method (in the case of two-dimensional) and the quasi-boundary value method (in the case of multi-dimensional). Finally, convergence rates of the regularized solutions are given and investigated numerically. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
