Optimal rates for Lavrentiev regularization with adjoint source conditions

Abstract

There are various ways to regularize ill-posed operator equations in Hilbert space. If the underlying operator is accretive then Lavrentiev regularization (singular perturbation) is an immediate choice. The corresponding convergence rates for the regularization error depend on the given smoothness assumptions, and for general accretive operators these may be both with respect to the operator or its adjoint. Previous analysis revealed different convergence rates, and their optimality was unclear, specifically for adjoint source conditions. Based on the fundamental study by T. Kato, Fractional powers of dissipative operators. J. Math. Soc. Japan, 13(3):247-274, 1961, we establish power type convergence rates for this case. By measuring the optimality of such rates in terms on limit orders we exhibit optimality properties of the convergence rates, for general accretive operators under direct and adjoint source conditions, but also for the subclass of nonnegative selfadjoint operators.

Generalized Tikhonov Method and Convergence Estimate for the Cauchy Problem of Modified Helmholtz Equation with Nonhomogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann Datum

“…We found that there is a large amount of recent papers on conditional stability estimates in combination with variational regularization methods based more or less on reference [29]. In recent years, there have been some new works and results in this field, such as in Hilbert spaces, Hilbert scales, and Banach space settings, please see [31][32][33][34][35], etc.…”

Generalized-Fractional Tikhonov-Type Method for the Cauchy Problem of Elliptic Equation

“…In fact, our regularized method can be seen as a variational method. Recently, we note that there are some new works in which the variational regularized methods are researched, such as [26][27][28][29][30], and so on. Meanwhile, this method is based on the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the operator involved.…”
