On the Local Regularization of Inverse Problems of Volterra Type
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a local regularization method for the solution of first-kind Volterra integral equations with convolution kernel. The local regularization is based on a splitting of the original Volterra operator into “local” and “global” parts, and a use of Tikhonov regularization to stabilize the inversion of the local operator only. The regularization parameters for the local procedure include the standard Tikhonov parameter, as well as a parameter that represents the length of the local regularization interval. We present a convergence theory for the infinite-dimensional regularization problem and show that the regularized solutions converge to the true solution as the regularization parameters go to zero (in a prescribed way). In addition, we show how numerical implementation of the ideas of local regularization can lead to the notion of “sequential Tikhonov regularization” for Volterra problems; this approach has been shown in (Lamm and Eldén, 1995) to be just as effective as Tikhonov regularization, but to be much more efficient computationally. INTRODUCTION We consider a local regularization method for the problem of finding u solving

On local regularization methods for linear Volterra equations and nonlinear equations of Hammerstein type
Abstract Local regularization methods allow for the application of sequential solution techniques for the solution of Volterra problems, retaining the causal structure of the original Volterra problem and leading to fast solution techniques. Stability and convergence of these methods was shown to hold on a large class of linear Volterra problems, i.e., the class of ν-smoothing problems for ν = ...
متن کاملSolution of Ill-Posed Volterra Equations via Variable-Smoothing Tikhonov Regularization
We consider a “local” Tikhonov regularization method for ill-posed Volterra problems. In addition to leading to efficient numerical schemes for inverse problems of this type, a feature of the method is that one may impose varying amounts of local smoothness on the solution, i.e., more regularization may be applied in some regions of the solution’s domain, and less in others. Here we present pro...
متن کاملFull convergence of sequential local regularization methods for Volterra inverse problems
Local regularization methods for ill-posed linear Volterra equations have been shown to be efficient regularization procedures preserving the causal structure of the Volterra problem and allowing for sequential solution methods. However questions posed recently in Ring and Prix (2000 Inverse Problems 16 619–34) raise doubts as to whether such methods are convergent for problems which are more t...
متن کاملApproximation of Ill-Posed Volterra Problems via Predictor-Corrector Regularization Methods
First-kind Volterra problems arise in numerous applications, from inverse problems in mathematical biology to inverse heat conduction problems. Unfortunately, such problems are also ill-posed due to lack of continuous dependence of solutions on data. Consequently, numerical methods to solve first-kind Volterra equations are only effective when regularizing features are built into the algorithms...
متن کاملIll-Posed and Linear Inverse Problems
In this paper ill-posed linear inverse problems that arises in many applications is considered. The instability of special kind of these problems and it's relation to the kernel, is described. For finding a stable solution to these problems we need some kind of regularization that is presented. The results have been applied for a singular equation.
