Abstract: Adaptive spectral (AS) decompositions associated with a piecewise constant function u yield small subspaces where the characteristic functions comprising u are well approximated. When combined with Newton-like optimization methods for the solution of inverse medium problems, AS decompositions have proved remarkably efficient in providing at each nonlinear iteration a low-dimensional search space. Here, we derive L2-error estimates for the AS decomposition of u, truncated after K terms, when u is piecewise constant and consists of K characteristic functions over Lipschitz domains and a background. Our estimates apply both to the continuous and the discrete Galerkin finite element setting. Numerical examples illustrate the accuracy of the AS decomposition for media that either do, or do not, satisfy the assumptions of the theory.
