Parameter identification for nonlinear ill-posed problems (Q629578)

The authors consider the nonlinear inverse problems for parameter identification of \(q(x)= 0\) formulated as \(F(q)= 0\), where \(F: Q\subset X\to Y\) is a nonlinear Fréchet differential operator, and \(X\), \(Y\) are Banach spaces. For solving such a problem this paper introduces Newton homotopy method, and constructs a new and widely convergent method. The Lyapunov theory is introduced to prove the stability of the dynamical system methods which obtain the convergence theorem under less restrictive conditions on the equation than the theorems known for the corresponding discrete methods. The numerical example proves this method to be effective.
