This book discusses various inverse problems for the time-fractional diffusion equation, such as inverse coefficient problems (nonlinear problems) and inverse problems for determining the right-hand sides of equations and initial functions (linear problems). The study of inverse problems requires a comprehensive investigation of direct problems (such as representation formulas, a priori estimates and differential properties of the solution). This is particularly evident in nonlinear problems, where obtaining solvability theorems necessitates careful tracking of the exact dependence of the differential properties of the solution to the direct problem on the smoothness of the coefficients and other problem data. Therefore, a significant portion of the book is devoted to direct problems, such as initial problems (Cauchy problems) and initial-boundary value problems with various boundary conditions.

This book studies the construction methods for solving one-dimensional and multidimensional inverse dynamical problems for hyperbolic equations with memory. The theorems of uniqueness, stability and existence of solutions of these inverse problems are obtained. This book discusses the processes, by using generalized solutions, the spread of elastic or electromagnetic waves arising from sources of the type of pulsed directional “impacts” or “explosions”. This book presents new results in the study of local and global solvability of kernel determination problems for a half-space. It describes the problems of reconstructing the coefficients of differential equations and the convolution kernel of hyperbolic integro-differential equations by the method of Dirichlet-to-Neumann. The book will be useful for researchers and students specializing in the field of inverse problems of mathematical physics.
