Abstract

In this study, we address the simultaneous recovery of the source term and the initial value in a time-fractional diffusion equation, a problem inherently characterized by its ill-posed nature. To overcome this challenge, we propose a hybrid regularization method, offering robust solutions and providing precise estimations for both the source term and the initial value.
