Abstract In this paper, we reconstruct the solution u(x, t) of the backward space-fractional diffusion problem with a locally Lipschitzian nonlinear source ⎧ γ ⎨ ut (x, t) = x Dθ u(x, t) + (x, t, u(x, t)), (x, t) ∈ R × (0, T ), u(x, t)|x→±∞ = 0, t ∈ (0, T ), ⎩ u(x, T ) = GT (x), x ∈ R. This problem is severely ill-posed in the Hadamard sense, hence, a regularization is in order. In the paper, we introduce one spectral regularization method and establish stability error estimates with optimal order under an a priori choice of regularization parameter. Finally, numerical implementations are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed regularization methods.

1 Introduction Fractional derivatives calculus and fractional differential equations have been used recently to solve a range of problems in chemistry, physics, biology, mechanical engineering, signal processing and systems identification, etc (see [6–8], among others). Hence, in the last decades, the study of fractional diffusion equations has attracted intense attention. As known, the space-fractional diffusion equation (SFDE) is obtained from the classical diffusion equation in which the term of second-order spatial derivative is replaced by a space-fractional partial derivative:  γ ut (x, t) = x Dθ u(x, t) + (x, t, u(x, t)), (x, t) ∈ R × (0, T ), (1) u(x, t)|x→±∞ = 0, t ∈ (0, T ), γ

where the derivative x Dθ is the Riesz-Feller fractional derivative of order γ (0 < γ < 2) and skewness θ (|θ| ≤ min{γ , 2 − γ }, θ = ±1), which is defined by   (γ + θ)π ∞ f (x + s) − f (x) (1 + γ ) γ sin D f (x) = ds x θ π 2 s 1+γ 0   (γ − θ)π ∞ f (x − s) − f (x) + sin ds . 2 s 1+γ 0 In the last few years, almost all papers dealing with the SFDE have focused on direct problem and boundary value problems [5, 9, 16]. However, it is usually encountered into solving the function u(x, t) any earlier time t ∈ (0, T ) by the final data u(x, T ) in the practical problems, which will lead to some inverse problems. Concretely, in the present paper, we will consider the SFDE (1) subject to the final condition u(x, T ) = GT (x), x ∈ R,
