In this paper, elliptic control problems with pointwise box constraints on the state is considered, where the corresponding Lagrange multipliers in general only represent regular Borel measure functions. To tackle this difficulty, the Lavrentiev regularization is employed to deal with the state constraints. To numerically discretize the resulted problem, since the weakness of variational discretization in numerical implementation, full piecewise linear finite element discretization is employed. Estimation of the error produced by regularization and discretization is done. The error order of full discretization is not inferior to that of variational discretization because of the Lavrentiev-regularization. Taking the discretization error into account, algorithms of high precision do not make much sense. Utilizing efficient first-order algorithms to solve discretized problems to moderate accuracy is sufficient. Then a heterogeneous alternating direction method of multipliers (hADMM) is proposed. Different from the classical ADMM, our hADMM adopts two different weighted norms in two subproblems respectively. Additionally, to get more accurate solution, a two-phase strategy is presented, in which the primal-dual active set (PDAS) method is used as a postprocessor of the hADMM. Numerical results not only verify error estimates but also show the efficiency of the hADMM and the two-phase strategy.

Summary In this paper, we propose an efficient numerical scheme for solving some large‐scale ill‐posed linear inverse problems arising from image restoration. In order to accelerate the computation, two different hidden structures are exploited. First, the coefficient matrix is approximated as the sum of a small number of Kronecker products. This procedure not only introduces one more level of parallelism into the computation but also enables the usage of computationally intensive matrix–matrix multiplications in the subsequent optimization procedure. We then derive the corresponding Tikhonov regularized minimization model and extend the fast iterative shrinkage‐thresholding algorithm (FISTA) to solve the resulting optimization problem. Because the matrices appearing in the Kronecker product approximation are all structured matrices (Toeplitz, Hankel, etc.), we can further exploit their fast matrix–vector multiplication algorithms at each iteration. The proposed algorithm is thus called structured FISTA (sFISTA). In particular, we show that the approximation error introduced by sFISTA is well under control and sFISTA can reach the same image restoration accuracy level as FISTA. Finally, both the theoretical complexity analysis and some numerical results are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of sFISTA.
