Inverse problems in spaces of measures

Abstract

The ill-posed problem of solving linear equations in the space of vector-valued finite Radon measures with Hilbert space data is considered. Approximate solutions are obtained by minimizing the Tikhonov functional with a total variation penalty. The well-posedness of this regularization method and further regularization properties are mentioned. Furthermore, a flexible numerical minimization algorithm is proposed which converges subsequentially in the weak* sense and with rate (n-1) in terms of the functional values. Finally, numerical results for sparse deconvolution demonstrate the applicability for a finite-dimensional discrete data space and infinite-dimensional solution space. © 2012 EDP Sciences, SMAI.
