Landweber iterative method for identifying the initial value problem of the time-space fractional diffusion-wave equation

This paper considers the inverse problem for identifying the initial value problem of a space-time fractional diffusion wave equation. In general, this problem is ill-posed and the Landweber iterative regularization method is used to solve this problem. The error estimates between the exact solution and the regularized solution are given under the a priori parameter choice rule and the a posteriori parameter choice rule, respectively. In order to verify the validity and stability of the used method, numerical examples of two different dimensional cases with experimental data are performed.
