In 2010, Qinian Jin considered a regularized Levenberg–Marquardt method in Hilbert spaces for getting stable approximate solution for nonlinear ill-posed operator equation F ⁢ (x) = y , where F : D ⁢ (F) ⊂ X → Y is a nonlinear operator between Hilbert spaces X and Y and obtained rate of convergence results under an appropriate source condition. In this paper, we propose a simplified Levenberg–Marquardt method in Hilbert spaces for solving nonlinear ill-posed equations in which sequence of iteration { x n δ } is defined as x n + 1 δ = x n δ - ( α n ⁢ I + F ′ ⁢ (x 0) * ⁢ F ′ ⁢ (x 0) ) - 1 ⁢ F ′ ⁢ (x 0) * ⁢ (F ⁢ (x n δ) - y δ) . Here { α n } is a decreasing sequence of nonnegative numbers which converges to zero, F ′ ⁢ (x 0) denotes the Fréchet derivative of F at an initial guess x 0 ∈ D ⁢ (F) for the exact solution x † and (F ′ ⁢ (x 0)) * denote the adjoint of F ′ ⁢ (x 0) . In our proposed method, we need to calculate Fréchet derivative of F only at an initial guess x 0 . Hence, it is more economic to use in numerical computations than the Levenberg–Marquardt method used in the literature. We have proved convergence of the method under Morozov-type stopping rule using a general tangential cone condition. In the last section of the paper, numerical examples are presented to demonstrate advantages of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider the iteratively regularized Gauss–Newton method with frozen derivative and formulate its convergence rates in the settings of Banach spaces. The convergence rates of iteratively regularized Gauss–Newton method with frozen derivative are well studied via generalized source conditions. We utilize the recently developed concept of conditional stability of the inverse mapping to derive the convergence rates. Also, in order to show the practicality of this paper, we show that our results are applicable on an ill-posed inverse problem. Finally, we compare the convergence rates derived in this paper with the existing convergence rates in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study the existence and interior W 2 , p -regularity of the solution, and the regularity of the free boundary ∂ ⁡ { u > ϕ } to the obstacle problem of the porous medium equation, u t = Δ ⁢ u m ( m > 1 ) with the obstacle function ϕ. The penalization method is applied to have the existence and interior regularity. To deal with the interaction between two free boundaries ∂ ⁡ { u > ϕ } and ∂ ⁡ { u > 0 } , we consider two cases on the initial data which make the free boundary ∂ ⁡ { u > ϕ } separate from the free boundary ∂ ⁡ { u > 0 } . Then the problem is converted into the obstacle problem for a fully nonlinear operator. Hence, the C 1 -regularity of the free boundary ∂ ⁡ { u > ϕ } is obtained by the regularity theory of a class of obstacle problems for the general fully nonlinear operator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2012, Jin Qinian considered an inexact Newton–Landweber iterative method for solving nonlinear ill-posed operator equations in the Banach space setting by making use of duality mapping. The method consists of two steps; the first one is an inner iteration which gives increments by using Landweber iteration, and the second one is an outer iteration which provides increments by using Newton iteration. He has proved a convergence result for the exact data case, and for the perturbed data case, a weak convergence result has been obtained under a Morozov type stopping rule. However, no error bound has been given. In 2013, Kaltenbacher and Tomba have considered the modified version of the Newton–Landweber iterations, in which the combination of the outer Newton loop with an iteratively regularized Landweber iteration has been used. The convergence rate result has been obtained under a Hölder type source condition. In this paper, we study the modified version of inexact Newton–Landweber iteration under the approximate source condition and will obtain an order-optimal error estimate under a suitable choice of stopping rules for the inner and outer iterations. We will also show that the results proved in this paper are more general as compared to the results proved by Kaltenbacher and Tomba in 2013. Also, we will give a numerical example of a parameter identification problem to support our method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study the inverse coefficient problem of identifying both the mass density ρ ⁢ (x) > 0 and flexural rigidity r ⁢ (x) > 0 of a damped Euler–Bernoulli (cantilever) beam governed by the equation ρ ⁢ (x) ⁢ u t ⁢ t + μ ⁢ (x) ⁢ u t + (r ⁢ (x) ⁢ u x ⁢ x ) x ⁢ x = 0 , (x , t) ∈ (0 , ℓ) × (0 , T) , subject to boundary conditions u ⁢ (0 , t) = u x ⁢ (0 , t) = 0 , u x ⁢ x ⁢ (ℓ , t) = 0 , - (r ⁢ (x) ⁢ u x ⁢ x ⁢ (x , t)) x | x = ℓ = g ⁢ (t) , from the available measured boundary deflection ν ⁢ (t) := u ⁢ (ℓ , t) and rotation θ ⁢ (t) := u x ⁢ (ℓ , t) at the free end of the beam. The distinctive feature of the considered inverse coefficient problem is that not one, but two Neumann-to-Dirichlet operators have to be formally defined. The inverse problem is hence formulated as a system of nonlinear Neumann-to-Dirichlet operator equations with the right-hand sides consisting of the measured outputs. As a natural consequence of this approach, a vector-form Tikhonov functional is introduced whose components are squares of the L 2 -norm differences between predicted and measured outputs. We then prove existence of a quasi-solution of the inverse problem and derive explicit gradient formulae for the Fréchet derivatives of both components of the Tikhonov functional. These results are instrumental to any gradient based algorithms for reconstructing the two unknown coefficients of the considered damped Euler–Bernoulli beam. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we deal with positive radially symmetric solutions for a boundary value problem containing a strongly nonlinear operator. The proof of existence of positive solutions that we give uses the blow-up method as a main ingredient for the search of a-priori bounds of solutions. The blow-up argument is one by contradiction and uses a sort of scaling, reminiscent to the one used in the theory of minimal surfaces, see [12], and therefore the homogeneity of the operators, Laplacian or p-Laplacian, and second members powers or power like functions play a fundamental role in the method. Thus, when the differential operators are no longer homogeneous, and similarly for the second members, applying the blow-up method to obtain a-priori bounds of solutions seems an almost impossible task. In spite of this fact, in [8], we were able to overcome this difficulty and obtain a-priori bounds for a certain (simpler) type of problems. We show in this paper that the asymptotically homogeneous functions provide, in the same sense, a nonlinear rescaling, that allows us to generalize the blow-up method to our present situation. After the a-priori bounds are obtained, the existence of a solution follows from Leray-Schauder topological degree theory.

In this paper, we studied the separability of the non-linear Schrodinger operator of the form S u x = − Δ u x + V x , u u x , where Δ u x = ∑ i = 1 n ∂ 2 u x ∂ x i 2 , with the non-linear matrix potential V x , u . We obtained the sufficient conditions for separability of this operator in the space L 2 R n ℓ and we established the suitable coercive inequalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to prove some fixed point results dealing with a system of nonlinear equations defined in an angelic Hausdorff locally convex space (X , { | ⋅ | p } p ∈ Λ) (X,\{\lvert\,{\cdot}\,\rvert_{p}\}_{p\in\Lambda}) having the 휏-Krein–Šmulian property, where 휏 is a weaker Hausdorff locally convex topology of 푋. The method applied in our study is connected with a family Φ Λ τ \Phi_{\Lambda}^{\tau} -MNC of measures of weak noncompactness and with the concept of 휏-sequential continuity. As a special case, we discuss the existence of solutions for a 2 × 2 2\times 2 block operator matrix with nonlinear inputs. Furthermore, we give an illustrative example for a system of nonlinear integral equations in the space C ⁢ (R +) × C ⁢ (R +) C(\mathbb{R}^{+})\times C(\mathbb{R}^{+}) to verify the effectiveness and applicability of our main result.

This paper develops an efficient and robust solution technique for the steady Boussinesq model of non-isothermal flow using Anderson acceleration applied to a Picard iteration. After analyzing the fixed point operator associated with the nonlinear iteration to prove that certain stability and regularity properties hold, we apply the authors' recently constructed theory for Anderson acceleration, which yields a convergence result for the Anderson accelerated Picard iteration for the Boussinesq system. The result shows that the leading term in the residual is improved by the gain in the optimization problem, but at the cost of additional higher order terms that can be significant when the residual is large. We perform numerical tests that illustrate the theory, and show that a 2-stage choice of Anderson depth can be advantageous. We also consider Anderson acceleration applied to the Newton iteration for the Boussinesq equations, and observe that the acceleration allows the Newton iteration to converge for significantly higher Rayleigh numbers that it could without acceleration, even with a standard line search.

We consider an elliptic variational-hemivariational inequality 𝓟 in a reflexive Banach space, governed by a set of constraints K, a nonlinear operator A, and an element f. We associate to this inequality a sequence {𝓟n} of variational-hemivariational inequalities such that, for each n ∈ ℕ, inequality 𝓟n is obtained by perturbing the data K and A and, moreover, it contains an additional term governed by a small parameter εn. The unique solvability of 𝓟 and, for each n ∈ ℕ, the solvability of its perturbed version 𝓟n, are guaranteed by an existence and uniqueness result obtained in literature. Denote by u the solution of Problem 𝓟 and, for each n ∈ ℕ, let un be a solution of Problem 𝓟n. The main result of this paper states the strong convergence of un → u in X, as n → ∞. We show that the main result extends a number of results previously obtained in the study of Problem 𝓟. Finally, we illustrate the use of our abstract results in the study of a mathematical model which describes the contact of an elastic body with a rigid-deformable foundation and provide the corresponding mechanical interpretations.

After the celebrated work of L. Hörmander on the one-parameter pseudo-differential operators, the applications of pseudo-differential operators have played an important role in partial differential equations, geometric analysis, harmonic analysis, theory of several complex variables and other branches of modern analysis. For instance, they are used to construct parametrices and establish the regularity of solutions to PDEs such as the ∂ ¯ {\overline{\partial}} problem. The study of Fourier multipliers, pseudo-differential operators and Fourier integral operators has stimulated further such applications. It is well known that the one-parameter pseudo-differential operators are L p ⁢ (ℝ n) {L^{p}({\mathbb{R}^{n}})} bounded for 1 < p < ∞ {1

In this paper, we consider a simplified iteratively regularized Gauss–Newton method in a Banach space setting under a general source condition. We will obtain order-optimal error estimates both for an a priori stopping rule and for a Morozov-type stopping rule together with a posteriori choice of the regularization parameter. An advantage of a general source condition is that it provides a unified setting for the error analysis which can be applied to the cases of both severely and mildly ill-posed problems. We will give a numerical example of a parameter identification problem to discuss the performance of the method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study the relationship between the class of weakly demicompact linear operators, introduced in [KRICHEN, B.—O'REGAN, D.: On the class of relatively weakly demicompact nonlinear operators, Fixed Point Theory 19 (2018), 625–630], and measures of weak noncompactness of linear operators with respect to an axiomatic one. Moreover, some Fredholm and perturbation results involving the class of weakly demicompact linear operators are investigated. Our results are then used to investigate the relationship between the relative essential spectrum of the sum of two linear operators and the relative essential spectrum of each of these operators.

In this paper, we deal with nonlinear ill-posed operator equations involving a monotone operator in the setting of Hilbert scales. Our convergence analysis of the proposed derivative-free method is based on the simple property of the norm of a self-adjoint operator. Using a general Hölder-type source condition, we obtain an optimal order error estimate. Also we consider the adaptive parameter choice strategy proposed by Pereverzev and Schock (2005) for choosing the regularization parameter. Finally, we applied the proposed method to the parameter identification problem in an elliptic PDE in the setting of Hilbert scales and compare the results with the corresponding method in Hilbert space.
