On the nonlocal problems in time for subdiffusion equations with the Riemann-Liouville derivatives

Abstract

Initial boundary value problems with a time-nonlocal condition for a subdiffusion equation with the Riemann-Liouville time-fractional derivatives are considered. The elliptical part of the equation is the Laplace operator, defined in an arbitrary N−dimensional domain Ω with a sufficiently smooth boundary ∂Ω. The existence and uniqueness of the solution to the considered problems are proved. Inverse problems are studied for determining the right-hand side of the equation and a function in a time-nonlocal condition. The main research tool is the Fourier method, so the obtained results can be extended to subdiffusion equations with a more general elliptic operator.
