Abstract

In this paper, we consider an inverse problem for a general class of fractional ordinary differential equations. Using the collage theorem, a consequence of Banach’s classical Fixed Point Theorem, we establish a “collage method” for solving this inverse problem under certain restrictions. We apply this method to some model fractional ordinary differential equations in which we only use solution data (perhaps adding relative noise to simulate experimental error) to recover other parameters present in the model.
