Abstract We derive Onsager–Machlup functionals for countable product measures on weighted ℓ p subspaces of the sequence space R N . Each measure in the product is a shifted and scaled copy of a reference probability measure on R that admits a sufficiently regular Lebesgue density. We study the equicoercivity and Γ-convergence of sequences of Onsager–Machlup functionals associated to convergent sequences of measures within this class. We use these results to establish analogous results for probability measures on separable Banach or Hilbert spaces, including Gaussian, Cauchy, and Besov measures with summability parameter 1 ⩽ p ⩽ 2. Together with part I of this paper, this provides a basis for analysis of the convergence of maximum a posteriori estimators in Bayesian inverse problems and most likely paths in transition path theory.

Abstract The Bayesian solution to a statistical inverse problem can be summarised by a mode of the posterior distribution, i.e. a maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator. The MAP estimator essentially coincides with the (regularised) variational solution to the inverse problem, seen as minimisation of the Onsager–Machlup (OM) functional of the posterior measure. An open problem in the stability analysis of inverse problems is to establish a relationship between the convergence properties of solutions obtained by the variational approach and by the Bayesian approach. To address this problem, we propose a general convergence theory for modes that is based on the Γ-convergence of OM functionals, and apply this theory to Bayesian inverse problems with Gaussian and edge-preserving Besov priors. Part II of this paper considers more general prior distributions.

We studyλ-statistically convergent sequences of functions in intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces. We define concept ofλ-statistical pointwise convergence andλ-statistical uniform convergence in intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces and we give some basic properties of these concepts.

Iterative regularization methods for nonlinear ill-posed equations of the form $ F(a)= y$, where $ F: D(F) \subset X \to Y$ is an operator between Hilbert spaces $ X $ and $ Y$, usually involve calculation of the Fr\'{e}chet derivatives of $ F$ at each iterate and at the unknown solution $ a^\sharp$. A modified form of the generalized Gauss-Newton method which requires the Fr\'{e}chet derivative of $F$ only at an initial approximation $ a_0$ of the solution $ a^\sharp$ as studied by Mahale and Nair \cite{MaNa:2k9}. This work studied an {\it a posteriori} stopping rule of Lepskij-type of the method. A numerical experiment from inverse source potential problem is demonstrated.

In this paper we extend the concepts of statistical inner and outer limits (as introduced by Talo, Sever and Ba?ar) to I-inner and I-outer limits and give some I-analogue of properties of statistical inner and outer limits for sequences of closed sets in metric spaces, where I is an ideal of subsets of the set N of positive integers. We extend the concept of Kuratowski statistical convergence to Kuratowski I-convergence for a sequence of closed sets and get some properties for Kuratowski I-convergent sequences. Also, we examine the relationship between Kuratowski I-convergence and Hausdorff I-convergence.

Abstract. Matrix multiplication of two sparse matrices is a fundamental operation in linear Bayesian inverse problems for computing covariance matrices of observations and a posteriori uncertainties. Applications of sparse-sparse matrix multiplication algorithms for specific use-cases in such inverse problems remain unexplored. Here we present a hybrid-parallel sparse-sparse matrix multiplication approach that is more efficient by a third in terms of execution time and operation count relative to standard sparse matrix multiplication algorithms available in most libraries. Two modifications of this hybrid-parallel algorithm are also proposed for the types of operations typical of atmospheric inverse problems, which further reduce the cost of sparse matrix multiplication by yielding only upper triangular and/or dense matrices.

We consider linear ill‐posed problems in Hilbert spaces with noisy right hand side and given noise level. For approximation of the solution the Tikhonov method or the iterated variant of this method may be used. In self‐adjoint problems the Lavrentiev method or its iterated variant are used. For a posteriori choice of the regularization parameter often quasioptimal rules are used which require computing of additionally iterated approximations. In this paper we propose for parameter choice alternative numerical schemes, using instead of additional iterations linear combinations of approximations with different parameters.
