In this paper we propose a modification of the Landweber iteration termed frozen Landweberiteration for nonlinear ill-posed problems.A convergence analysis for this iteration is presented.The numericalperformance of this frozen Landweber iteration for a nonlinear Hammerstein integral equation is compared withthat of the Landweber iteration.We obtain a shorter running time of the frozen Landweber iteration based onthe same convergence accuracy.     

Accelerated Landweber iteration with convex penalty for linear inverse problems in Banach spaces

In recent years, Landweber iteration has been extended to solve linear inverse problems in Banach spaces by incorporating non-smooth convex penalty functionals to capture features of solutions. This method is known to be slowly convergent. However, because it is simple to implement, it still receives a lot of attention. By making use of the subspace optimization technique, we propose an accelerated version of Landweber iteration with non-smooth convex penalty which significantly speeds up the method. Numerical simulations are given to test the efficiency.     

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.     

An inverse backward problem for degenerate parabolic equations

This work studies the inverse problem of reconstructing an initial value function in the degenerate parabolic equation using the final measurement data. Problems of this type have important applications in the field of financial engineering. Being different from other inverse backward parabolic problems, the mathematical model in our article may be allowed to degenerate at some part of boundaries, which may lead to the corresponding boundary conditions missing. The conditional stability of the solution is obtained using the logarithmic convexity method. A finite difference scheme is constructed to solve the direct problem and the corresponding stability and convergence are proved. The Landweber iteration algorithm is applied to the inverse problem and some typical numerical experiments are also performed in the paper. The numerical results show that the proposed method is stable and the unknown initial value is recovered very well.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Comodules and Landweber exact homology theories

We show that, if E is a commutative MU-algebra spectrum such that is Landweber exact over , then the category of -comodules is equivalent to a localization of the category of -comodules. This localization depends only on the heights of E at the integer primes p. It follows, for example, that the category of -comodules is equivalent to the category of -comodules. These equivalences give simple proofs and generalizations of the Miller-Ravenel and Morava change of rings theorems. We also deduce structural results about the category of -comodules. We prove that every -comodule has a primitive, we give a classification of invariant prime ideals in , and we give a version of the Landweber filtration theorem.     

On Backward p(x)-Parabolic Equations for Image Enhancement

In this study, we investigate the backward p(x)-parabolic equation as a new methodology to enhance images. We propose a novel iterative regularization procedure for the backward p(x)-parabolic equation based on the nonlinear Landweber method for inverse problems. The proposed scheme can also be extended to the family of iterative regularization methods involving the nonlinear Landweber method. We also investigate the connection between the variable exponent p(x) in the proposed energy functional and the diffusivity function in the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation. It is well known that the forward problems converges to a constant solution destroying the image. The purpose of the approach of the backward problems is twofold. First, solving the backward problem by a sequence of forward problems, we obtain a smooth image which is denoised. Second, by choosing the initial data properly, we try to reduce the blurriness of the image. The numerical results for denoising appear to give improvement over standard methods as shown by preliminary results.     

Landweber iterative methods for angle-limited image reconstruction

We introduce a general iterative scheme for angle-limited image reconstruction based on Landwebet＇s method. We derive a representation formula for this scheme and consequently establish its convergence conditions. Our results suggest certain relaxation strategies for an accelerated convergence for angle-limited image reconstruction in L^2-norm comparing with alternative projection methods. The convolution-backprojection algorithm is given for this iterative process.     

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.     

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.     

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.
