On iterative methods for solving ill-posed problems modeled by PDE's (2011.14441v1)

Abstract: We investigate the iterative methods proposed by Maz'ya and Kozlov (see [KM1], [KM2]) for solving ill-posed inverse problems modeled by partial differential equations. We consider linear evolutionary problems of elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic types. Each iteration of the analyzed methods consists in the solution of a well posed problem (boundary value problem or initial value problem respectively). The iterations are described as powers of affine operators, as in [KM2]. We give alternative convergence proofs for the algorithms by using spectral theory and the fact that the linear parts of these affine operators are non-expansive with additional functional analytical properties (see [Le1,2]). Also problems with noisy data are considered and estimates for the convergence rate are obtained under a priori regularity assumptions on the problem data.
