To solve the problem, we propose fractional filter regularization methods, which can be regarded as an extension of the classical Tikhonov and Landweber methods. The idea is first to transform the problem into an ill-posed operator equation, then construct the regularization methods for the operator equation by introducing a suitable fractional filter function. As a natural further step, we study the convergence of the regularization methods, for which we derive order optimal rates of convergence under both <i>a priori</i> and <i>a posteriori</i> parameter choice rules. Applications of our fractional filter functions to both the fractional Tikhonov and the fractional Landweber filters are also investigated.
