contents This article presents a mathematical study of the problem of identifying a time-dependent source term in transport processes described by a timefractional parabolic equation, based on noisy time-dependent measurements taken at an arbitrary position. The problem is analytically solved using Fourier techniques, and it is shown that the solution is unstable. To address this instability, three one-parameter families of regularization operators are proposed, each designed to counteract the factors responsible for the instability of the inverse operator. Additionally, a new rule for selecting the regularization parameter is introduced, and an error bound is derived for each estimate. Numerical examples with varying characteristics are provided to illustrate the advantages of the proposed strategies.
