A Runge–Kutta type modified Landweber method for nonlinear ill-posed operator equations

In this paper, we investigate the convergence behavior of a Runge–Kutta type modified Landweber method for nonlinear ill-posed operator equations. In order to improve the stability and convergence of the Landweber iteration, a 2-stage Gauss-type Runge–Kutta method is applied to the continuous analogy of the modified Landweber method, to give a new modified Landweber method, called R–K type modified Landweber method. Under some appropriate conditions, we prove the convergence of the proposed method. We conclude with a numerical example confirming the theoretical results, including comparisons to the modified Landweber iteration.     

On Landweber iteration for nonlinear ill-posed problems in Hilbert scales

Summary. In this paper we derive convergence rates results for Landweber iteration in Hilbert scales in terms of the iteration index for exact data and in terms of the noise level for perturbed data. These results improve the one obtained recently for Landweber iteration for nonlinear ill-posed problems in Hilbert spaces. For numerical computations we have to approximate the nonlinear operator and the infinite-dimensional spaces by finite-dimensional ones. We also give a convergence analysis for this finite-dimensional approximation. The conditions needed to obtain the rates are illustrated for a nonlinear Hammerstein integral equation. Numerical results are presented confirming the theoretical ones. Received May 15, 1998 / Revised version received January 29, 1999 / Published online December 6, 1999     

A convergence analysis of an inexact Newton-Landweber iteration method for nonlinear problem

In this paper, we study the convergence and the convergence rates of an inexact Newton–Landweber iteration method for solving nonlinear inverse problems in Banach spaces. Opposed to the traditional methods, we analyze an inexact Newton–Landweber iteration depending on the Hölder continuity of the inverse mapping when the data are not contaminated by noise. With the namely Hölder-type stability and the Lipschitz continuity of DF, we prove convergence and monotonicity of the residuals defined by the sequence induced by the iteration. Finally, we discuss the convergence rates.

An iterative multi level algorithm for solving nonlinear ill–posed problems

Summary. The convergence analysis of Landweber's iteration for the solution of nonlinear ill–posed problem has been developed recently by Hanke, Neubauer and Scherzer. In concrete applications, sufficient conditions for convergence of the Landweber iterates developed there (although quite natural) turned out to be complicated to verify analytically. However, in numerical realizations, when discretizations are considered, sufficient conditions for local convergence can usually easily be stated. This paper is motivated by these observations: Initially a discretization is fixed and a discrete Landweber iteration is implemented until an appropriate stopping criterion becomes active. The output is used as an initial guess for a finer discretization. An advantage of this method is that the convergence analysis can be considered in a family of finite dimensional spaces. The numerical performance of this multi level algorithm is compared with Landweber's iteration. Received October 21, 1996 / Revised version received July 28, 1997     

An implicit Landweber method for nonlinear ill-posed operator equations

In this paper, we are interested in the solution of nonlinear inverse problems of the form F(x)=y. We propose an implicit Landweber method, which is similar to the third-order midpoint Newton method in form, and consider the convergence behavior of the implicit Landweber method. Using the discrepancy principle as a stopping criterion, we obtain a regularization method for ill-posed problems. We conclude with numerical examples confirming the theoretical results, including comparisons with the classical Landweber iteration and presented modified Landweber methods.

Convergence results of Landweber iterations for linear systems

The Landweber scheme is a method for algebraic image reconstructions. The convergence behavior of the Landweber scheme is of both theoretical and practical importance. Using the diagonalization of matrix, we derive a neat iterative representation formula for the Landweber schemes and consequently establish the convergence conditions of Landweber iteration. This work refines our previous convergence results on the Landweber scheme.

Towards a general convergence theory for inexact Newton regularizations

We develop a general convergence analysis for a class of inexact Newton-type regularizations for stably solving nonlinear ill-posed problems. Each of the methods under consideration consists of two components: the outer Newton iteration and an inner regularization scheme which, applied to the linearized system, provides the update. In this paper we give a novel and unified convergence analysis which is not confined to a specific inner regularization scheme but applies to a multitude of schemes including Landweber and steepest decent iterations, iterated Tikhonov method, and method of conjugate gradients.     

A New Gradient Method for Ill-Posed Problems

In this paper, we present a new gradient method for linear and nonlinear ill-posed problems F(x) = y. Combined with the discrepancy principle as stopping rule it is a regularization method that yields convergence to an exact solution if the operator F satisfies a tangential cone condition. If the exact solution satisfies smoothness conditions, then even convergence rates can be proven. Numerical results show that the new method in most cases needs less iteration steps than Landweber iteration, the steepest descent or minimal error method.     

Projected Landweber iteration for matrix completion

Recovering an unknown low-rank or approximately low-rank matrix from a sampling set of its entries is known as the matrix completion problem. In this paper, a nonlinear constrained quadratic program problem concerning the matrix completion is obtained. A new algorithm named the projected Landweber iteration (PLW) is proposed, and the convergence is proved strictly. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm can be fast and efficient under suitable prior conditions of the unknown low-rank matrix.     

On the order optimality of the regularization via inexact Newton iterations

Inexact Newton regularization methods have been proposed by Hanke and Rieder for solving nonlinear ill-posed inverse problems. Every such a method consists of two components: an outer Newton iteration and an inner scheme providing increments by regularizing local linearized equations. The method is terminated by a discrepancy principle. In this paper we consider the inexact Newton regularization methods with the inner scheme defined by Landweber iteration, the implicit iteration, the asymptotic regularization and Tikhonov regularization. Under certain conditions we obtain the order optimal convergence rate result which improves the suboptimal one of Rieder. We in fact obtain a more general order optimality result by considering these inexact Newton methods in Hilbert scales.     

R-K type Landweber method for nonlinear ill-posed problems

In this paper we propose the R-K type Landweber iteration and investigate the convergence of the method for nonlinear ill-posed problem F(x)=y$F(x)=y$ where F:H→H$F:H\to H$ is a nonlinear operator between Hilbert space H  . Moreover, for perturbed data with noise level δ$\delta$ we prove that the convergence rate is O(δ^2/3)$\mathrm{O}({\delta }^{2/3})$ under appropriate conditions. Finally, the numerical performance of this R-K type Landweber iteration for a nonlinear convolution equation is compared with the Landweber iteration.

A Note on the Nonlinear Landweber Iteration

We reconsider the Landweber iteration for nonlinear ill-posed problems. It is known that this method becomes a regularization method in the case when the iteration is terminated as soon as the residual drops below a certain multiple of the noise level in the data. So far, all known estimates of this factor are greater than two. Here we derive a smaller factor that may be arbitrarily close to one depending on the type of nonlinearity of the underlying operator equation.     

An improved iteration regularization method and application to reconstruction of dynamic loads on a plate

We present an improved iteration regularization method for solving linear inverse problems. The algorithm considered here is detailedly given and proved that the computational costs for the proposed method are nearly the same as the Landweber iteration method, yet the number of iteration steps by the present method is even less. Meanwhile, we obtain the optimum asymptotic convergence order of the regularized solution by choosing a posterior regularization parameter based on Morozov’s discrepancy principle, and the present method is applied to the identification of the multi-source dynamic loads on a surface of the plate. Numerical simulations of two examples demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the present method.     

An iterative algorithm for a Cauchy problem in eddy-current modelling

We consider a linear steady-state eddy-current problem for a magnetic field in a bounded domain. The boundary consists of two parts: reachable with prescribed Cauchy data and unreachable with no data on it. We design an iterative (Landweber type) algorithm for solution of this problem. At each iteration step two auxiliary mixed well-posed boundary value problems are solved. The analysis of temporary problems is performed in suitable function spaces. This creates the basis for the convergence argument. The theoretical results are supported with numerical experiments.
