Abstract
In this article, we consider an evolution partial differential equation with Caputo time-derivative with the zero Dirichlet boundary condition: where and the principal part , is a non-symmetric elliptic operator of the second order. Given a source , we prove the well-posedness for the backward problem in time and our result generalizes the existing results assuming that is symmetric. The key is a perturbation argument and the completeness of the generalized eigenfunctions of the elliptic operator .
