Jacobi Spectral Collocation Technique for Time-Fractional Inverse Heat Equations

摘要

In this paper, we introduce a numerical solution for the time-fractional inverse heat equations. We focus on obtaining the unknown source term along with the unknown temperature function based on an additional condition given in an integral form. The proposed scheme is based on a spectral collocation approach to obtain the two independent variables. Our approach is accurate, efficient, and feasible for the model problem under consideration. The proposed Jacobi spectral collocation method yields an exponential rate of convergence with a relatively small number of degrees of freedom. Finally, a series of numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and flexibility of the numerical scheme.
