Simultaneous identification of three parameters in a time-fractional diffusion-wave equation by a part of boundary Cauchy data

Abstract This paper is devoted to determine the fractional order, the initial flux speed and the boundary Neumann data simultaneously in a one-dimensional time-fractional diffusion-wave equation from part boundary Cauchy observation data. We prove the uniqueness result for this inverse problem by using a new result for the Mittag-Leffler function and Laplace transform combining with analytic continuation. Then we use the iterative regularizing ensemble Kalman method in Bayesian framework to solve the inverse problem numerically. And four numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness and stability of the proposed algorithm.
