On a terminal value problem for a generalization of the fractional diffusion equation with hyper‐Bessel operator

Abstract

In this paper, we consider an inverse problem of recovering the initial value for a generalization of time‐fractional diffusion equation, where the time derivative is replaced by a regularized hyper‐Bessel operator. First, we investigate the existence and regularity of our terminal value problem. Then we show that the backward problem is ill‐posed, and we propose a regularizing scheme using a fractional Tikhonov regularization method. We also present error estimates between the regularized solution and the exact solution using two parameter choice rules.
