contents In this work, forward and inverse problems for a time-fractional pseudo-parabolic equation $D_t^ρ [u(t) + μAu(t)] + σ(t) Au(t) = r(t)g$ are investigated in a Hilbert space, where $A$ is an unbounded, positive, self-adjoint operator. According to the known papers, the forward problem has been studied only in the case $σ(t) = const$. The main novelty of the forward problem in this work is that the model is further generalized and investigated for a time-dependent coefficient $σ(t)$. To determine the solution of the forward problem, the Fourier method is employed, and the global existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved. Moreover, when the operator $A$ is a second-order differential operator, a numerical scheme and an efficient computational algorithm are developed. The inverse problem of determining a time-dependent source function is considered under the overdetermination condition of the form $F[u(t)] = Φ(t)$. The functional $F$ is taken in a general form, and such an inverse problem has not been considered before. The global existence of the solution to the inverse problem is proved by applying Schauder's fixed point theorem, and its uniqueness is established. Furthermore, several examples related to the operator $A$ and the functional $F$ are provided.
