Abstract: This paper deals with a second order dynamical system with vanishing damping that contains a Tikhonov regularization term, in connection to the minimization problem of a convex Fr'echet differentiable function g. We show that for appropriate Tikhonov regularization parameters the value of the objective function in a generated trajectory converges fast to the global minimum of the objective function and a trajectory generated by the dynamical system converges weakly to a minimizer of the objective function. We also obtain the fast convergence of the velocities towards zero and some integral estimates. Nevertheless, our main goal is to extend and improve some recent results obtained in cite{ABCR} and cite{AL-nemkoz} concerning the strong convergence of the generated trajectories to an element of minimal norm from the argmin set of the objective function g. Our analysis also reveals that the damping coefficient and the Tikhonov regularization coefficient are strongly correlated.


Let \(\mathcal H\) be a Hilbert space, \(g:\mathcal{H}\to \mathbb{R}\) a convex continuously Fréchet differentiable function where the solution set \(\mathrm{argmin}\, g\) of all points \(x^*\in\mathcal{H}\) where \(g(x)\) attains its minimum is nonempty, with \(\nabla g\) Lipschitz continuous on bounded sets. The authors consider the asymptotics of the second order dynamical system \begin{align*} x(t) + \frac{\alpha}{ t^q} x'(t) + \nabla g(x(t)) + \frac{a}{t^p} x(t) &= 0 \quad \ (t > 0) \\ x(t_0) = u_0 , \quad x'(t_0) &= v_0 \quad (t_0 > 0) \tag{1} \end{align*} (all constants positive) as \(t\to+\infty\). The subject is the convergence (weak or strong) of trajectories of (1) to an element \( x^*\) of \(\mathrm{argmin}\, g,\) estimates of the form \[ g(x(t)) - g(x^*) = O\Big(\frac{1}{t^\gamma}\Big) \text{ or } g(x(t)) - g(x^*) = o\Big(\frac{1}{t^\gamma} \Big)\tag{2} \] and similar estimates for the derivative \[ \|x'(t)\| = O\Big(\frac{1}{t^\gamma} \Big),\text{ or } \|x'(t)\| = o\Big(\frac{1}{t^\gamma}\Big)\tag{3} \] for \(\gamma > 0\) depending on the constants in (1). Under suitable conditions on the constants the author obtains convergence results (both weak and strong) for \(x(t)\) and estimates of the forms (2) and (3). There are also auxiliary integral estimates, \[ \int_{t_0}^\infty t^q \|x'(t)\|^2 dt < \infty, \qquad \int_{t_0}^\infty t^q \big( g(x(t)) - g(x^*) \big) dt < \infty, \] the first instrumental in the convergence proof. The author compares in detail his conclusions with theorems in the existing literature. The results are computationally checked in several examples.
