Abstract

We consider an inverse problem for a parabolic equation with memory effect. This inverse problem aims to identify the memory kernel function from a fixed point measurement data. Based on the fixed point arguments, we derive the global in time existence and uniqueness of our inverse problem. Moreover, we present a numerical algorithm to reconstruct the memory kernel function. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
