In the model, we do not assume a full knowledge of the initial data and the source term, since they might be unavailable in some practical applications. We prove the unique recovery of the spatially-dependent potential coefficient and the order α of the derivation simultaneously from the measured trace data at one end point, when the model is equipped with a boundary excitation with a compact support away from t = 0. One of the initial data and the source can also be uniquely determined, provided that the other is known. The analysis employs a representation of the solution and the time analyticity of the associated function. Further, we discuss a two-stage procedure, directly inspired by the analysis, for the numerical identification of the order and potential coefficient, and illustrate the feasibility of the recovery with several numerical experiments. date: 2021-10 date_type: published publisher: IOP Publishing official_url: https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6420/ac1f6d oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1883666 doi: 10.1088/1361-6420/ac1f6d lyricists_name: Jin, Bangti lyricists_id: BJINX59 actors_name: Zahnhausen-Stuber, Petra actors_id: PMZAH20 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Inverse Problems volume: 37 number: 10 article_number: 105009 citation: Jin, B; Zhou, Z; (2021) Recovering the potential and order in one-dimensional time-fractional diffusion with unknown initial condition and source *.
