Tikhonov regularization is one of the most popular approaches to solving linear discrete ill-posed problems. The choice matrix may significantly affect quality computed solution. When identity, iterated can yield approximate solutions higher than (standard) regularization. This paper provides an analysis with a different from identity. Computed examples illustrate performance this method.
We consider the problem of computed tomography (CT). This ill-posed inverse arises when one wishes to investigate internal structure an object with a non-invasive and non-destructive technique. is severely ill-conditioned, meaning it has infinite solutions extremely sensitive perturbations in collected data. sensitivity produces well-known semi-convergence phenomenon if iterative methods are used solve it. In this work, we propose multigrid approach mitigate instability produce fast,...

Abstract Discrete ill-posed inverse problems arise in various areas of science and engineering. The presence noise the data often makes it difficult to compute an accurate approximate solution. To reduce sensitivity computed solution noise, one replaces original problem by a nearby well-posed minimization problem, whose is less sensitive than problem. This replacement known as regularization. We consider situation when consists fidelity term, that defined terms p -norm, regularization q...

The reduction in achieved periodic restarts method....
Abstract Bregman-type iterative methods have received considerable attention in recent years due to their ease of implementation and the high quality computed solutions they deliver. However, these may require a large number iterations this reduces usefulness.

Later, using popular alternating direction multiplier method (ADMM), describe an algorithm identify stationary point functional....
Iterative soft thresholding algorithms combine one step of a Landweber method (or accelerated variants) with the wavelet (framelet) coefficients. In this paper, we improve these methods by using framelet multilevel decomposition for defining multigrid deconvolution grid transfer operators given low-pass filter frame. Assuming that an estimate noise level is available, recently proposed iterative ℓ2-regularization linear denoising soft-thresholding. This combination allows fast frequency...
