Inverse free iterative methods for nonlinear ill-posed operator equations (Q2260333)

Summary: We present a new iterative method which does not involve inversion of the operators for obtaining an approximate solution for the nonlinear ill-posed operator equation \(F(x)=y\). The proposed method is a modified form of Tikhonov gradient (TIGRA) method considered by \textit{R. Ramlau} [Inverse Probl. 19, No. 2, 433--465 (2003; Zbl 1029.65059)]. The regularization parameter is chosen according to the balancing principle considered by \textit{S. Pereverzev} and \textit{E. Schock} [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 43, No. 5, 2060--2076 (2005; Zbl 1103.65058)]. The error estimate is derived under a general source condition and is of optimal order. Some numerical examples involving integral equations are also given in this paper.
