In this paper we consider non-linear ill-posed problems in a Hilbert space setting. We show that Tikhonov regularisation is a stable method for solving non-linear illposed problems and give conditions that guarantee the convergence rate O(d\/B) for the regularised solutions, where cE is a norm bound for the noise in the data. We illustrate these conditions for several examples including parameter estimation problems. In an appendix, we study the connection between the ill-posedness of a non-linear problem and its linearisation and show that this connection is rather weak. A sufficient condition for illposedness is given in the case that the non-linear operator is compact.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
