An inverse coefficient problem is considered for time-fractional anomalous diffusion equations with the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives. A numerical algorithm is proposed for identification of anomalous diffusivity which is considered as a function of concentration. The algorithm is based on transformation of inverse coefficient problem to extremum problem for the residual functional. The steepest descent method is used for numerical solving of this extremum problem. Necessary expressions for calculating gradient of residual functional are presented. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is illustrated by several test examples.

AbstractThis paper studies the Lipschitz continuity of the Fréchet gradient of the Tikhonov functional {J(k):=(1/2)\lVert u(0,\cdot\,;k)-f\rVert^{2}_{L^{2}(0,T)}} corresponding to an inverse coefficient problem for the {1D} parabolic equation {u_{t}=(k(x)u_{x})_{x}} with the Neumann boundary conditions {-k(0)u_{x}(0,t)=g(t)} and {u_{x}(l,t)=0}. In addition, compactness and Lipschitz continuity of the input-output operator\Phi[k]:=u(x,t;k)\lvert_{x=0^{+}},\quad\Phi[\,\cdot\,]:\mathcal{K}\subset H^{1% }(0,l)\mapsto H^{1}(0,T),as well as solvability of the regularized inverse problem and the Lipschitz continuity of the Fréchet gradient of the Tikhonov functional are proved. Furthermore, relationships between the sufficient conditions for the Lipschitz continuity of the Fréchet gradient and the regularity of the weak solution of the direct problem as well as the measured output {f(t):=u(0,t;k)} are established. One of the derived lemmas also introduces a useful application of the Lipschitz continuity of the Fréchet gradient. This lemma shows that an important advantage of gradient methods comes when dealing with the functionals of class {C^{1,1}(\mathcal{K})}. Specifically, this lemma asserts that if {J\in C^{1,1}(\mathcal{K})} and {\{k^{(n)}\}\subset\mathcal{K}} is the sequence of iterations obtained by the Landweber iteration algorithm {k^{(n+1)}=k^{(n)}+\omega_{n}J^{\prime}(k^{(n)})}, then for {\omega_{n}\in(0,2/L_{g})}, where {L_{g}>0} is the Lipschitz constant, the sequence {\{J(k^{(n)})\}} is monotonically decreasing and {\lim_{n\to\infty}\lVert J^{\prime}(k^{(n)})\rVert=0}.
