| Abstract: | In this paper, we consider an inverse problem related to a fractional diffusion equation. The model problem is governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation involving the fractional spectral Laplacian. This study is focused on the reconstruction of an unknown source term from a partial internal measured data. The considered ill‐posed inverse problem is formulated as a minimization one. The existence, uniqueness, and stability of the solution are discussed. Some theoretical results are established. The numerical reconstruction of the unknown source term is investigated using an iterative process. The proposed method involves a denoising procedure at each iteration step and provides a sequence of source term approximations converging in norm to the actual solution of the minimization problem. Some numerical results are presented to show the efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed approach. |
