Fluxes of the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB) are calculated based on a new modeling of galactic chemical evolution, where a variable stellar initial mass function (IMF) depending on the galaxy type is introduced and black hole (BH) formation from the failed supernova is considered for progenitors heavier than 18$M_{\odot}$. The flux calculations are performed for different combinations of the star formation rate, nuclear equation of state, and neutrino mass hierarchy to examine the systematic effects from these factors. In any case, our new model predicts the enhanced DSNB $\bar{\nu}{e}$ flux at $E\nu \gtsim 30$~MeV and $E_\nu \ltsim 10$~MeV due to more frequent BH formation and a larger core collapse rate at high redshifts in the early-type galaxies, respectively. Event rate spectra of the DSNB $\bar{\nu}_{e}$ at a detector from the new model are shown and detectability at water-based Cherenkov detectors, SK-Gd and Hyper-Kamiokande, is discussed. In order to investigate impacts of the assumptions in the new model, we prepare alternative models based on the different IMF form and treatment of BH formation, and estimate discrimination capabilities between the new and alternative models at these detectors.
