AbstractThis paper studies an inverse source problem for a time fractional diffusion equation with the distributed order Caputo derivative. The space-dependent source term is recovered from a noisy final data. The uniqueness, ill-posedness and a conditional stability for this inverse source problem are obtained. The inverse problem is formulated into a minimization functional with Tikhonov regularization method. Further, based on the series representation of the regularized solution, we give convergence rates of the regularized solution under an a-priori and an a-posteriori regularization parameter choice rule. With an adjoint technique for computing the gradient of the regularization functional, the conjugate gradient method is applied to reconstruct the space-dependent source term. Two numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

AbstractIn this paper, an inverse source problem for the time-fractional diffusion equation is investigated. The observational data is on the final time and the source term is assumed to be temporally independent and with a sparse structure. Here the sparsity is understood with respect to the pixel basis, i.e., the source has a small support. By an elastic-net regularization method, this inverse source problem is formulated into an optimization problem and a semismooth Newton (SSN) algorithm is developed to solve it. A discretization strategy is applied in the numerical realization. Several one and two dimensional numerical examples illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
