In this paper, we investigate two inverse source problems for degenerate
time-fractional partial differential equation in rectangular domains. The first
problem involves a space-degenerate partial differential equation and the
second one involves a time-degenerate partial differential equation. Solutions
to both problem are expressed in series expansions. For the first problem, we
obtained solutions in the form of Fourier-Legendre series. Convergence and
uniqueness of solutions have been discussed. Solutions to the second problem
are expressed in the form of Fourier-Sine series and they involve a generalized
Mittag- Leffler type function. Moreover, we have established a new estimate for
this generalized Mittag-Leffler type function. The obtained results are
illustrated by providing example solutions using certain given data at the
initial and final time.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure
