On Level-Set Type Methods for Recovering Piecewise Constant Solutions of Ill-Posed Problems

چکیده
We propose a regularization method for solving ill-posed problems, under the assumption that the solutions are piecewise constant functions with unknown level sets and unknown level values. A level set framework is established for the inverse problem and a Tikhonov regularization approach is proposed. Existence of generalized minimizers for the Tikhonov functional is proven. Moreover, we establish convergence and stability results, characterizing our Tikhonov approach as a regularization method. Based on the necessary conditions of optimality for the Tikhonov functional, a level-set type method is derived and implemented numerically for solving an inverse source problem. This allow us to test the quality of the proposed algorithm.

On a Level-Set Method for Ill-Posed Problems with Piecewise Nonconstant Coefficients
We investigate a level-set-type method for solving ill-posed problems, with the assumption that the solutions are piecewise, but not necessarily constant functions with unknown level sets and unknown level values. In order to get stable approximate solutions of the inverse problem, we propose a Tikhonov-type regularization approach coupled with a level-set framework. We prove the existence of g...
متن کاملNonlinear regularization methods for ill-posed problems
In this paper we consider nonlinear ill-posed problems with piecewise constant or strongly varying solutions. A class of nonlinear regularization methods is proposed, in which smooth approximations to the Heavyside function are used to reparameterize functions in the solution space by an auxiliary function of levelset type. The analysis of the resulting regularization methods is carried out in ...
متن کاملMultiple Level Sets for Piecewise Constant Surface Reconstruction in Highly Ill-Posed Problems
This paper considers highly ill-posed surface recovery inverse problems, where the sought surface in 2D or 3D is piecewise constant with several possible level values. These levels may further be potentially unknown. Multiple level set functions are used when there are more than two such levels, and we extend the methods and theory of our previous works to handle such more complex situations. A...
