Generalized Tikhonov methods for an inverse source problem of the time-fractional diffusion equation

In this paper, we identify the unknown space-dependent source term in a time-fractional diffusion equation with variable coefficients in a bounded domain where additional data are consider at a fixed time. Using the generalized and revised generalized Tikhonov regularization methods, we construct regularized solutions. Convergence estimates for both methods under an a-priori and a-posteriori regularization parameter choice rules are given, respectively. Numerical example shows that the proposed methods are effective and stable.
