Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to new developments in the theory and applications of the fractional-order differential, partial differential, differential operator equations and systems, and stochastic differential equations. The focus is on novel effective analytic or semi-analytic methods for the solution of linear and nonlinear equations and systems, inverse problems including the determination of order(s), stability problems, and problems related to the asymptotic behavior of solutions. The novel methods for the analysis of the existence and uniqueness of a solution, continuous dependence of a solution on data, representations of solutions, fundamental solutions, properties of solutions, descriptions of solution spaces, etc., also fall within the scope of this Special Issue. Furthermore, submissions focusing on new effective applications of the fractional-order partial differential and differential operator equations and systems, which generalize famous classical equations like those of Schrödinger, Navier–Stokes, and Fokker–Planck, and other equations, in modern science (quantum physics, hydrodynamics, statistical mechanics, etc.) are also invited.

An inverse problem of determining the right-hand side of the abstract subdiffusion equation with a fractional Caputo derivative is considered in a Hilbert space H. For the forward problem, instead of the Cauchy condition, the non-local in time condition u(0)=u(T) is taken. The right-hand side of the equation has the form g(t)f with a given function g(t) and an unknown element fH. If the function g(t) preserves its sign, then under a over-determined condition u(t0)=ψ, t0(0,T), it is proved that the solution of the inverse problem exists and is unique. An example is given showing the violation of the uniqueness of the solution for some sign-changing functions g(t). For such functions g(t), under certain conditions on this function, one can achieve the well-posedness of the problem by choosing properly t0. Moreover, we show that for some g(t), for the existence of a solution to the inverse problem, certain orthogonality conditions must be satisfied, but in this case there is no uniqueness. To the best knowledge of authors, the inverse problem with the non-local condition u(0)=u(T) has been considered for the first time. Moreover, all the results obtained are new not only for the subdiffusion equation, but also for the classical diffusion equation. Full article
