Abstract In this paper, we consider a Levenberg–Marquardt method with general regularization terms that are uniformly convex on bounded sets to solve the ill-posed inverse problems in Banach spaces, where the forward mapping might not Gˆateaux differentiable and the image space is unnecessarily reflexive. The method therefore extends the one proposed by Jin and Yang in (Numer. Math. 133:655–684, 2016) for smooth inverse problem setting with globally uniformly convex regularization terms. We prove a novel convergence analysis of the proposed method under some standing assumptions, in particular, the generalized tangential cone condition and a compactness assumption. All these assumptions are fulfilled when investigating the identification of the heat source for semilinear elliptic boundary-value problems with a Robin boundary condition, a heat source acting on the boundary, and a possibly non-smooth nonlinearity. Therein, the Clarke subdifferential of the non-smooth nonlinearity is employed to construct the family of bounded operators that is a replacement for the nonexisting Gˆateaux derivative of the forward mapping. The efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated with a numerical example.

Abstract In this article we propose a novel strategy for choosing the Lagrange multipliers in the Levenberg–Marquardt method for solving ill-posed problems modeled by nonlinear operators acting between Hilbert spaces. Convergence analysis results are established for the proposed method, including monotonicity of iteration error, geometrical decay of the residual, convergence for exact data, stability and semi-convergence for noisy data. Numerical experiments are presented for an elliptic parameter identification two-dimensional electrical impedance tomography problem. The performance of our strategy is compared with standard implementations of the Levenberg–Marquardt method (using a priori choice of the multipliers).

Abstract The ill-posed problem is the key obstacle to obtain the accurate inversion results in the geophysical inversion field, and the Levenberg-Marquardt1, 2(hereinafter referred to as the L-M method) method has been widely used as it can effectively improve the ill-posed problems. However, the inversion results obtained by the L-M method are usually stable but incorrect, the reason is that the damping factor in the L-M method is difficult to solve, and it is usually approximated with a positive constant by experience or through some fitting methods. This paper uses the binary gravity model to demonstrate that the damping factor in the L-M method cannot be regarded as a positive constant only, it should have the following characteristics: (i) the damping factor is a vector, not just a constant; (ii) the values of the vector are composed of both positive and negative constants, not just positive constants; (iii) the corresponding value in the vector is close or equal to ∞ when the corresponding density block’s value is close or equal to zero. Even if the above characteristics have been found in the L-M method, it is difficult to reasonably estimate the damping factor as the damping factor oscillate severely due to the third characteristic, and the improved L-M method is proposed which effectively avoids the damping factor’s severe oscillation problem. The strategy of obtaining the reasonable damping factor is given finally.

AbstractVariational source conditions proved to be useful for deriving convergence rates for Tikhonov’s regularization method and also for other methods. Up to now, such conditions have been verified only for few examples or for situations which can be also handled by classical range-type source conditions. Here we show that for almost every ill-posed inverse problem variational source conditions are satisfied. Whether linear or nonlinear, whether Hilbert or Banach spaces, whether one or multiple solutions, variational source conditions are a universal tool for proving convergence rates.
