Direct and inverse problems for the Hilfer fractional differential equation

The article studies direct and inverse problems for subdiffusion equations involving a Hilfer fractional derivative. An arbitrary positive self-adjoint operator $A$ is taken as the elliptic part of the equation. In particular, as the operator $A$ we can take the Laplace operator with the Dirichlet condition. First, the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the direct problem is proven. Then, using the representation of the solution to the direct problem, the existence and uniqueness of the inverse problem of finding the right-hand side of the equation, which depends only on the spatial variable, is proved.
