Newton-type iteration for Tikhonov regularization of nonlinear ill-posed problems (Q355707)

Summary: Recently, in the work of \textit{S. George} [``On convergence of regularized modified Newton's method for nonlinear ill-posed problems'', J. Inverse Ill-posed 18, No. 2, 133--146 (2010)], we considered a modified Gauss-Newton method for approximate solutions of a nonlinear ill-posed operator equation \(F(x) = y\), where \(F : D(F) \subseteq X \to Y\) is a nonlinear operator between the Hilbert spaces \(X\) and \(Y\). The analysis of George [loc. cit.] was carried out by using a majorizing sequence. In this paper, we consider also the modified Gauss-Newton method, but the convergence analysis and the error estimate are obtained by analyzing the odd and even terms of the sequence separately. We use the adaptive method in the work of \textit{S. Pereverzev} and \textit{E. Schock} [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 43, No. 5, 2060--2076 (2005; Zbl 1103.65058)] for choosing the regularization parameter. The optimality of this method is proved under a general source condition. A numerical example of a nonlinear integral equation shows the performance of this procedure.
