Abstract
This paper is devoted to the problem of determining the initial data for the backward non-homogeneous time fractional heat conduction problem by the Fourier truncation method. The exact solution for the forward and backward fractional heat problems is expressed in terms of eigen function expansion and Mittag–Leffler function. Due to the instability of determining initial data, a regularized truncated solution is considered. Further, the stability estimate for the exact solution and the convergence estimates for the regularized solution using an á-priori choice rule and an á-posteriori choice rule are derived.
1. Introduction
Currently, a lot of research activities on the time fractional diffusion equations has been taking place due to its importance in several areas of science and engineering such as for describing the memory as well as hereditary properties for super diffusion and subdiffusion phenomena in the theory of plasma turbulence [Citation1,Citation2], random walks [Citation3,Citation4], viscoelastic material, biological systems [Citation5] and in various other physical models [Citation6]. Not only in physics and biological sciences, fractional heat equation has rich mathematical treatments on numerical simulation and regularity results (see, e.g. [Citation7–13]). For heat conduction problems with time fractional partial derivative, one may be interested in the inverse problem determining boundary or initial data, or diffusion coefficients, or source term using certain measurements. Such problems are ill-posed, in the sense that small perturbations in the data can lead to large deviations in the solutions (see, e.g. [Citation14,Citation15]).
Throughout the paper, we take and

Thus the problem is to solve Equation (Equation1(1)
(1) ) satisfying (Equation2
(2)
(2) ) and the requirement
(3)
(3) We shall see that the above problem of determining
for t>0 is well-posed, whereas determining
is ill-posed, in the sense that small perturbations in the data η can result in large deviation in the solution.
For a function and

We are concerned with the problem of determining the initial temperature
from the measured final temperature
and the measured source term
with some noise level
. As this problem is known to be ill-posed, some regularization method is required for obtaining stable approximations for a sought solution. For detailed study on regularization of partial differential equation and for regularization of linear ill-posed operator equations, one may refer Isakov [Citation16] and Nair [Citation17], respectively.
In the literature, we can find a few papers on recovering initial data for homogeneous TFBHCP, that is for f=0, by some regularization methods, such as quasi reversibility [Citation18] in 2010, data regularization [Citation19] and boundary condition regularization [Citation20] in 2013, Tikhonov scheme [Citation21] in 2013, modified quasi boundary value method [Citation22] in 2014 and generalized Tikhonov scheme [Citation23] in 2017. Very recently, Tuan et al. in [Citation24] and [Citation25] considered non-homogeneous TFBHCP of determining initial data from final data and source term by using a quasi boundary value method and Tikhonov method respectively.
It is clear that the research work related to the problem of determining initial data from final and source data for TFBHCP is still in the initial stage. Motivated by this fact, this work is devoted to the problem of determining the initial data for the non-homogeneous TFBHCP by the measured final data and the measured source term with some noise level, by using the standard easy-to-comprehend procedure of the Fourier Truncation method.
This paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, basic results from fractional calculus are stated. After that, the solution for the forward and backward time fractional heat conduction problems is derived. We also show that problem of determining for t>0 is well-posed, whereas determining
is ill-posed, in the sense that small perturbations in the data η can result in large deviation in the solution. In Section 3, instability of initial data and its conditional stability under the priori bound are analysed. In Sections 4 and 5, a regularized solution is formulated by cutting off the high frequencies on Fourier coefficients and choosing the number of Fourier coefficients (regularization parameter) depending on the error level in the noisy data. Further, we obtain error estimates for the regularized solution by choosing the regularization parameter, namely the level of truncation, by an á-priori as well as an á-posteriori rules.

(8) ).
3. Existence of solution for TFBHCP
The following theorem, proved in [Citation24], gives conditions on the functions η and f in (Equation3(3)
(3) ) and (Equation1
(1)
(1) ), respectively, so that the TFBHCP (Equation1
(1)
(1) )–(Equation3
(3)
(3) ) with
has a unique solution.
Theorem 3.1
For and
, the TFBHCP (Equation1
(1)
(1) )–(Equation3
(3)
(3) ) has a unique solution if and only if

(16) for

3.1. Solution under noisy data
Let us denote by the solution
defined as in (Equation16
(16)
(16) ) corresponding to the data
. Then the following theorem shows that
depends continuously on the data
whenever

Theorem 3.2

This completes the proof.
Remark 3.3
Although the above theorem shows that depends continuously on the data
whenever
, the same is not guaranteed when t=0. To see this consider the error
when t=0. In this case, we have
where
Hence, using the estimate in (Equation17
(17)
(17) ), we have
In particular, with
we have
Since
, the above inequality shows that small error in the data can lead to large deviations in the solution. In other words, the problem of determining solution at t=0 is ill-posed. This issue is further investigated in the following sections.
3.2. Ill-posedness of determining initial data and stability estimates
Recall from (Equation16(16)
(16) ) that the solution
of the TFBHCP (Equation1
(1)
(1) )–(Equation3
(3)
(3) ) for
is given by
where
is defined as in (Equation13
(13)
(13) ). For t=0, we have
(18)
(18) Thus the problem of determining initial data
from final data
and source term
can be written as an operator equation,
(19)
(19) where K is the integral operator from
into itself defined by
(20)
(20) with kernel
defined by
and
(21)
(21) At this point, we observe that
, as the following lemma shows.
Lemma 3.4
Let and
. Then h is defined as in (Equation21
(21)
(21) ) belongs to
and
where
Proof.
Note that, for each ,
Hence, by (Equation14
(14)
(14) ),
Therefore,
This completes the proof.
It can be shown that . Therefore,
is compact operator of infinite rank. Hence K does not have continuous inverse [Citation17].
Thus the problem of determining the initial data from the data
, where
, need not have a solution, and if a solution exists, it does not depend continuously on the data. Thus the problem of solving (Equation19
(19)
(19) ) is ill-posed.
For , define the space
It can be shown that
is a Hilbert space with the inner product
and the corresponding norm
given by
and
respectively (see [Citation30], p.142–144). Note that
for every
.
In this paper, we assume that the final data η and the source term f are such that Equation (Equation19(19)
(19) ) has a unique solution ψ. For a given
, consider the source set.
(22)
(22) Now, we have one of the main theorems of this paper giving stability estimates associated with the ill-posed problem of determining the initial condition from the knowledge of the final value and the source term.

Further, if for some
and
for some

(24)
(24)
Proof.
From the representation (Equation18(18)
(18) ) for ψ and using Hölder's inequality, we have
(25)
(25)
(26)
(26)
where
Recall from (Equation18
(18)
(18) ) that
Hence, using the estimate (Equation5
(5)
(5) ),
(27)
(27) Note also that
Thus (Equation26
(26)
(26) ) implies (Equation23
(23)
(23) ). Also, by Lemma 3.4,
so that (Equation24
(24)
(24) ) also follows.
4. Fourier truncation method and convergence estimates
Let us assume that the data are available only with some noise, and let the noisy data be
with some known noise level, say
(28)
(28) for some
. For the sake of simplicity of presentation of the analysis that follows, we assume that
(29)
(29) for some
. In fact, (Equation28
(28)
(28) ) implies (Equation29
(29)
(29) ) with
If we write
Then, by Lemma 3.4 together with (Equation29
(29)
(29) ), we obtain
(30)
(30) Corresponding to the data
and
, let
and
, respectively, be the solution of the TFBHCP (Equation1
(1)
(1) )–(Equation3
(3)
(3) ), that is, (Equation16
(16)
(16) ),
where
is as in (Equation13
(13)
(13) ) and
is obtained from (Equation13
(13)
(13) ) by replacing f by
. Let us denote the nth truncation of the series corresponding to the exact data
and noisy data
by
and
, respectively, that is,
(31)
(31)
(32)
(32) Thus the nth truncated approximations of
and
are given by
(33)
(33) and
(34)
(34) respectively.
4.1. Convergence estimate under à-priori parameter choice
Our goal is to choose a regularization parameter such that

Theorem 4.1
Let ψ, and

(18)
(18) ), (Equation33
(33)
(33) ) and (Equation34
(34)
(34) ) respectively. Let
be as in (Equation5
(5)
(5) ). Assume that ψ belongs to the source set
in (Equation22
(22)
(22) ) and
satisfies (Equation29
(29)
(29) ). Then
(35)
(35) If

Proof.
First let us obtain an estimate for . Note that
Next, we obtain a bound for

(33)
(33) ) and (Equation34
(34)
(34) ) that

(5)
(5) ) and Lemma 3.4, we obtain
Thus
Since
for all
, we obtain the estimate (Equation35
(35)
(35) ).
Next, note that
Hence, taking
the largest positive integer less than or equal to
, from (Equation35
(35)
(35) ), we obtain the inequality (Equation36
(36)
(36) ).
4.2. Convergence estimate under á-posteriori parameter choice
In the last section, we obtained an error estimate (Equation36(36)
(36) ) corresponding to the regularized solution
by choosing N á priorily, as this N depends on ρ and δ appearing in the source set
. Now, following some of the standard procedures (see, e.g. [Citation31] and the references therein), we choose the regularization parameter N a posteriori and obtain the same order for the error estimate.
First, let us recall from Section 3 that the problem of determining initial data from final data
and source term f is same as solving the operator equation (Equation19
(19)
(19) ), that is,
(37)
(37) where K is the integral operator on

Theorem 4.3
Let ψ and be as in (Equation18

This completes the proof.
