Abstract
We consider the inverse problem of determining the initial states or the source term of a hyperbolic equation damped by some non-local time-fractional derivative. This framework is relevant to medical imaging such as thermoacoustic or photoacoustic tomography. We prove a stability estimate for each of these two problems, with the aid of a Carleman estimate specifically designed for the governing equation.
期刊介绍:
Analysis and Applications publishes high quality mathematical papers that treat those parts of analysis which have direct or potential applications to the physical and biological sciences and engineering. Some of the topics from analysis include approximation theory, asymptotic analysis, calculus of variations, integral equations, integral transforms, ordinary and partial differential equations, delay differential equations, and perturbation methods. The primary aim of the journal is to encourage the development of new techniques and results in applied analysis.
