Randomized Algorithms for Large-scale Inverse Problems with General Regularizations (1412.8279v1)

Abstract: We shall investigate randomized algorithms for solving large-scale linear inverse problems with general regularizations. We first present some techniques to transform inverse problems of general form into the ones of standard form, then apply randomized algorithms to reduce large-scale systems of standard form to much smaller-scale systems and seek their regularized solutions in combination with some popular choice rules for regularization parameters. Then we will propose a second approach to solve large-scale ill-posed systems with general regularizations. This involves a new randomized generalized SVD algorithm that can essentially reduce the size of the original large-scale ill-posed systems. The reduced systems can provide approximate regularized solutions with about the same accuracy as the ones by the classical generalized SVD, and more importantly, the new approach gains obvious robustness, stability and computational time as it needs only to work on problems of much smaller size. Numerical results are given to demonstrated the efficiency of the algorithms.
