Abstract

In this paper, we consider a final value problem for the following time-fractional diffusion-wave system 


where  denotes the Laplace operator defined on a bounded domain Ω in ℝd with sufficiently smooth boundary and  refers to the Caputo fractional derivative of order 1 < α < 2. Under suitable assumptions on the nonlinear terms and the solution, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the problem. We also show that the final value problem is ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard. Finally, we propose a truncation regularization method to approximate the solution and derive an error estimate between the regularized solution and the exact solution, with a convergence rate of order √ε.
