In 2021, Z. Fu, Y. Chen and B. Han introduced an inexact Newton regularization (REGINN-IT) using an idea involving the non-stationary iterated Tikhonov regularization scheme for solving nonlinear ill-posed operator equations. In this paper, we suggest a simplified version of the REGINN-IT scheme by using the Bregman distance, duality mapping and a suitable parameter choice strategy to produce an approximate solution. The method is comprised of inner and outer iteration steps. The outer iterates are stopped by a Morozov-type stopping rule, while the inner iterate is executed by making use of the non-stationary iterated Tikhonov scheme. We have studied convergence of the proposed method under some standard assumptions and utilizing tools from convex analysis. The novelty of the method is that it requires computation of the Fréchet derivative only at an initial guess of an exact solution and hence can be identified as more efficient compared to the method given by Z. Fu, Y. Chen and B. Han. Further, in the last section of the paper, we discuss test examples to inspect the proficiency of the method. [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 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 consider the simplified Levenberg–Marquardt method for nonlinear ill-posed inverse problems in Hilbert spaces for obtaining stable approximations of solutions to the ill-posed nonlinear equations of the form F ⁢ ( u ) = y {F(u)=y} , where F : 풟 ⁢ ( F ) ⊂ 햴 → 햸 {F:\mathcal{D}(F)\subset\mathsf{U}\to\mathsf{Y}} is a nonlinear operator between Hilbert spaces 햴 {\mathsf{U}} and 햸 {\mathsf{Y}} . The method is defined as follows: u n + 1 δ = u n δ - ( T 0 ∗ ⁢ T 0 + α n ⁢ I ) - 1 ⁢ T 0 ∗ ⁢ ( F ⁢ ( u n δ ) - y δ ) , u_{n+1}^{\delta}=u_{n}^{\delta}-(T_{0}^{\ast}T_{0}+\alpha_{n}I)^{-1}T_{0}^{% \ast}(F(u_{n}^{\delta})-y^{\delta}), where T 0 = F ′ ⁢ ( u 0 ) {T_{0}=F^{\prime}(u_{0})} and T 0 ∗ = F ′ ⁢ ( u 0 ) ∗ {T_{0}^{\ast}=F^{\prime}(u_{0})^{\ast}} . Here F ′ ⁢ ( u 0 ) {F^{\prime}(u_{0})} denotes the Frèchet derivative of F at an initial guess u 0 ∈ 풟 ⁢ ( F ) {u_{0}\in\mathcal{D}(F)} for the exact solution u † {u^{\dagger}} , F ′ ⁢ ( u 0 ) ∗ {F^{\prime}(u_{0})^{\ast}} is the adjoint of F ′ ⁢ ( u 0 ) {F^{\prime}(u_{0})} and { α n } {\{\alpha_{n}\}} is an a priori chosen sequence of non-negative real numbers satisfying suitable properties. We use Morozov-type stopping rule to terminate the iterations. Under suitable non-linearity conditions on operator F, we show convergence of the method and also obtain a convergence rate result under a Hölder-type source condition on the element u 0 - u † {u_{0}-u^{\dagger}} . Furthermore, we derive convergence of the method for the case when no source conditions are used and the study concludes with numerical examples which validate the theoretical conclusions.

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 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 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.

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 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 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.

We establish pointwise bounds expressed in terms of a nonlinear potential of a generalized Wolff type for 풜 -superharmonic functions with nonlinear operator 풜 : Ω × ℝ n → ℝ n having measurable dependence on the spacial variable and Orlicz growth with respect to the last variable. The result is sharp as the same potential controls estimates from above and from below. Applying it we provide a bunch of precise regularity results including continuity and Hölder continuity for solutions to problems involving measures that satisfy conditions expressed in the natural scales. Finally, we give a variant of Hedberg–Wolff theorem on characterization of the dual of the Orlicz space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.

We discuss the existence of solutions for a differential equation of fractional order with multi-point nonlocal boundary conditions via standard tools of fixed point theory. The paper concludes with some illustrative examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study minimisation problems in L ∞ for general quasiconvex first order functionals, where the class of admissible mappings is constrained by the sublevel sets of another supremal functional and by the zero set of a nonlinear operator. Examples of admissible operators include those expressing pointwise, unilateral, integral isoperimetric, elliptic quasilinear differential, Jacobian and null Lagrangian constraints. Via the method of L p approximations as p → ∞ , we illustrate the existence of a special L ∞ minimiser which solves a divergence PDE system involving certain auxiliary measures as coefficients. This system can be seen as a divergence form counterpart of the Aronsson PDE system which is associated with the constrained L ∞ variational problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.

In this paper we obtain fixed and common fixed point theorems for self-mappings defined on a closed and convex subset C of a quasi-Banach space.

In [Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 32 (2011), 243-253], Azam, Fisher, and Khan introduced a notion of complex-valued metric spaces and obtained common fixed point results for mappings satisfying rational inequalities. In the present paper, employing the concept of asymptotically regular mappings, the existence of a fixed point is obtained in a complex-valued metric space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider the possibility of a posteriori error estimates for linear and nonlinear ill-posed operator equations. Given an auxiliary finite-dimensional problem , that approximates the original infinite model , with a certain level of accuracy, we try to estimate the distance between z, an approximate solution to , and , the exact solution to . The problem is assumed to accumulate different sources of error (discretization, measurements, etc.), and the computed solution z is assumed to satisfy the equation within a nonzero tolerance . We conduct both a theoretical and numerical study of a posteriori error analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There exists a vast literature on convergence rates results for Tikhonov regularized minimizers. The first convergence rates results for non-linear problems have been developed by Engl, Kunisch and Neubauer in 1989 [Inverse Problems 5: 523–540, 1989]. While these results apply for operator equations formulated in Hilbert spaces, the results of Burger and Osher from 2004 [Inverse Problems 20: 1411–1421, 2004], more generally, apply to operators formulated in Banach spaces. Recently, Resmerita and Scherzer [Inverse Problems 22: 801–814, 2006] presented a modification of the convergence rates result of Burger and Osher which turns out a complete generalization of the result of Engl et. al. In all these papers relatively strong regularity assumptions are made. However, it has been observed numerically, that violations of the smoothness assumptions on the operator do not necessarily affect the convergence rate negatively. We have taken this observation and weakened the smoothness assumptions on the operator and have proved a novel convergence rate result published in [Hofmann, Kaltenbacher, Pöschl, Scherzer, Inverse Problems 23: 987–1010, 2007]. The most significant difference of this result to the previous ones is that the source condition is formulated as a variational inequality and not as an equation as before, which is necessary due to the lack of smoothness assumptions on F.

In this paper by using of Suzuki-type approach we introduce the new contractive condition in the framework of non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces. We prove also the corresponding coincidence fixed point theorem for two mappings in this framework. Finally, two examples are presented to verify the effectiveness and applicability of our main results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We propose a class of Newton-like methods with increasing convergence order for approximating the solutions of systems of nonlinear equations. Novelty of the methods is that in each step the order of convergence is increased by an amount of three at the cost of only one additional function evaluation. Another important feature is the single use of an inverse operator in each iteration, which makes the schemes attractive and computationally more efficient. Theoretical results regarding convergence and computational efficiency are verified through numerical examples including those arising from boundary value problems and integral equations. By way of comparison, it is shown that the present methods are more efficient than their existing counterparts, particularly when applied to solve the large systems of equations.

The heat conduction process in composite medium can be modeled by a parabolic equation with discontinuous radiative coefficient. To detect the composite medium characterized by such a non-smooth coefficient from measurable information about the heat distribution, we consider a nonlinear inverse problem for parabolic equation, with the average measurement of temperature field in some time interval as the inversion input. We firstly establish the uniqueness for this nonlinear inverse problem, based on the property of the direct problem and the known uniqueness result for linear inverse source problem. To solve the inverse problem from a nonlinear operator equation, the differentiability and the tangential condition of this nonlinear map is analyzed. An iterative process called two-point gradient method is proposed by minimizing data-fit term and the penalty term alternatively, with rigorous convergence analysis in terms of the tangential condition. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A parameter identification inverse problem in the form of nonlinear least squares is considered. In the lack of stability, the frozen iteratively regularized Gauss–Newton (FIRGN) algorithm is proposed and its convergence is justified under what we call a generalized normal solvability condition. The penalty term is constructed based on a semi-norm generated by a linear operator yielding a greater flexibility in the use of qualitative and quantitative a priori information available for each particular model. Unlike previously known theoretical results on the FIRGN method, our convergence analysis does not rely on any nonlinearity conditions and it is applicable to a large class of nonlinear operators. In our study, we leverage the nature of ill-posedness in order to establish convergence in the noise-free case. For noise contaminated data, we show that, at least theoretically, the process does not require a stopping rule and is no longer semi-convergent. Numerical simulations for a parameter estimation problem in epidemiology illustrate the efficiency of the algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, we construct and analyze a nonconforming high-order discretization method for the quasi-static single-phase nonlinear poroelasticity problem describing Darcean flow in a deformable porous medium saturated by a slightly compressible fluid. The nonlinear elasticity operator is discretized using a Hybrid High-Order method, while the Darcy operator relies on a Symmetric Weighted Interior Penalty discontinuous Galerkin scheme. The method is valid in two and three space dimensions, delivers an inf-sup stable discretization on general meshes including polyhedral elements and nonmatching interfaces, supports arbitrary approximation orders, and has a reduced cost thanks to the possibility of statically condensing a large subset of the unknowns for linearized versions of the problem. Moreover, the proposed construction can handle both nonzero and vanishing specific storage coefficients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A generalization of a simplified form of the continuous regularized Gauss--Newton method has been considered for obtaining stable approximate solutions for ill-posed operator equations of the form F( x) == y, where F is a nonlinear operator defined on a subset of a Hilbert space ℋℋ1 with values in another Hilbert space ℋℋ2. Convergence of the method for exact data is proved without assuming any specific source condition on the unknown solution. For the case of noisy data, order optimal error estimates based on an a posteriori as well as an a priori stopping rule are derived under a general source condition which includes the classical source conditions such as the Höölder-type and logarithmic type, and certain nonlinearity assumptions on the operator F.

We prove that given any compact group G, there exists a minimal action of G on a II1 factor M such that the bimodule category of the fixed-point II1 factor MG is naturally equivalent with the representation category of G. In particular, all subfactors of MG with finite Jones index can be described explicitly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let (Ω, Σ) be a measurable space, with Σ a sigma-algebra of subset of Ω , and let C be a nonempty bounded closed convex and separable subset of a Banach space X,satisfying Dominguez-Lorenzo condition, KC(X) the family of all compact convex subsets of X. We prove that a 1-χ contractive mutivalued nonexpansive random operator from C into KC(X) satisfying an inwardness condition has a random fixed point. Furthermore, we also prove that a uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces with property WORTH has a random fixed point for multivalued nonexpansive non-self random operators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We report on a new iterative method for regularizing a nonlinear operator equation in Hilbert spaces. The proposed algorithm is a combination of Tikhonov regularization and a fixed point algorithm for the minimization of the Tikhonov-functional. Under the assumptions that the operator F is twice continuous Fŕechet-differentiable with Lipschitz-continuous first derivative and that the solution of the equation F (x) = y fulfills a smoothness condition we will give a convergence rate result. Numerical results with data from Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) show the rapid convergence of the proposed algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
