In this article, we consider two inverse problems with a generalized fractional derivative. The first problem, IP1, is to reconstruct the function u based on its value and the value of its fractional derivative in the neighborhood of the final time. We prove the uniqueness of the solution to this problem. Afterwards, we investigate the IP2, which is to reconstruct a source term in an equation that generalizes fractional diffusion and wave equations, given measurements in a neighborhood of final time. The source to be determined depends on time and all space variables. The uniqueness is proved based on the results for IP1. Finally, we derive the explicit solution formulas to the IP1 and IP2 for some particular cases of the generalized fractional derivative.

An inverse problem to recover a space-dependent factor of a source term and an order of a time derivative in a fractional diffusion equation from final data is considered. The uniqueness and stability of the solution to this problem is proved. A direct method to regularize the problem is proposed.

In this paper the method of Lavrent'ev for regularization of ill-posed problems with near-to-monotone operators is considered. An a priori rule of choice of the parameter of regularization is presented and the corresponding error estimate is derived. The theory is applied to the autoconvolution equation. Numerical examples are provided.
