Subdiffusion equations with distributed-order fractional derivatives describe
important physical phenomena. In this paper, we consider an inverse space-dependent
source term problem governed by a distributed order time-fractional diffusion equation using final time data. Based on the series expression of the solution, the inverse
source problem can be transformed into a first kind of Fredholm integral equation. The
existence, uniqueness and a conditional stability of the considered inverse problem are
established. Building upon this foundation, a generalized quasi-boundary value regularization method is proposed to solve the inverse source problem, and then we prove the
well-posedness of the regularized problem. Further, we provide the convergence rates
of the regularized solution by employing an a priori and an a posteriori regularization
parameter choice rule. Numerical examples in one-dimensional and two-dimensional
cases are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
