Abstract
This paper deals with mathematical problems related to space-dependent anomalous diffusion processes. Namely, we investigate diffusion equations with time-fractional derivatives of space-dependent variable order. We establish that variable-order time-fractional Cauchy problems admit a unique weak solution and prove that the space-dependent variable-order coefficient is uniquely determined by the knowledge of a suitable time sequence of partial initial-boundary maps.
