An inverse problem of determining a time dependent source term along with diffusion/temperature concentration from a non-local over-specified condition for a space-time fractional diffusion equation is considered. The space-time fractional diffusion equation involve Caputo fractional derivative in space and Hilfer fractional derivatives in time of different orders between 0 and 1. Under certain conditions on the given data we proved that the inverse problem is locally well-posed in the sense of Hadamard. Our method of proof based on eigenfunction expansion for which the eigenfunctions (which are Mittag-Leffler functions) of fractional order spectral problem and its adjoint problem are considered. Several properties of multinomial Mittag-Leffler functions are proved.
