The problem of solving numerically a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind when it is known that f(x)>or=0, by a regularization method based on minimization is considered. The convergence of solutions of this minimization problem, given conditions on the data and the regularization parameter lambda , is demonstrated to show that the procedure leads to a correct regularization method. A generalized cross validation strategy for the selection of the regularization parameter is introduced. A number of numerical experiments are made and comparisons are made with Tikhonov regularization schemes based on differential operators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
