- Established uniqueness of the variable order coefficient from boundary measurements.
- Contributed to inverse problems in fractional PDEs.

## Abstract

We investigate diffusion equations with time-fractional derivatives of space-dependent variable order. We examine the well-posedness issue and prove that the space-dependent variable order coefficient is uniquely determined among other coefficients of these equations, by the knowledge of a suitable time-sequence of partial Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps.
