The block Bregman–Kaczmarz method uses blocks of the linear system and performs iterative steps with these blocks only. We assume a noise model that we call independent noise, i.e. each time the method performs a step for some block, one obtains a noisy sample of the respective part of the right-hand side which is contaminated with new noise that is independent of all previous steps of the method. One can view these noise models as making a fresh noisy measurement of the respective block each time it is used. In this framework, we are able to show that a well-chosen adaptive stepsize of the block Bregman–Kaczmarz method is able to converge to the exact solution of the linear inverse problem. The plain form of this adaptive stepsize relies on unknown quantities (like the Bregman distance to the solution), but we show a way how these quantities can be estimated purely from given data. We illustrate the finding in numerical experiments and confirm that these heuristic estimates lead to effective stepsizes.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141772722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that in certain regimes this constrained model improves the robustness of the recovery problem, compared to more general models, and provides meaningfully better obstacle recovery than simpler models.

Specifically, we consider inverse problems in which, in addition to the inversion parameters, the governing PDEs include secondary uncertain parameters. We focus on problems with infinite-dimensional inversion and secondary parameters and present a scalable computational framework for optimal design of such problems. The proposed approach enables Bayesian inversion and OED under uncertainty within a unified framework. We build on the Bayesian approximation error (BAE) approach, to incorporate modeling uncertainties in the Bayesian inverse problem, and methods for A-optimal design of infinite-dimensional Bayesian nonlinear inverse problems. Specifically, a Gaussian approximation to the posterior at the maximum a posteriori probability point is used to define an uncertainty aware OED objective that is tractable to evaluate and optimize. In particular, the OED objective can be computed at a cost, in the number of PDE solves, that does not grow with the dimension of the discretized inversion and secondary parameters. The OED problem is formulated as a binary bilevel PDE constrained optimization problem and a greedy algorithm, which provides a pragmatic approach, is used to find optimal designs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for a model inverse problem governed by an elliptic PDE on a three-dimensional domain. Our computational results also highlight the pitfalls of ignoring modeling uncertainties in the OED and/or inference stages.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141739684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"An accelerated inexact Newton regularization scheme with a learned feature-selection rule for non-linear inverse problems","authors":"Haie Long, Ye Zhang and Guangyu Gao","doi":"10.1088/1361-6420/ad5e19","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6420/ad5e19","url":null,"abstract":"With computational inverse problems, it is desirable to develop an efficient inversion algorithm to find a solution from measurement data through a mathematical model connecting the unknown solution and measurable quantity based on the first principles. However, most of mathematical models represent only a few aspects of the physical quantity of interest, and some of them are even incomplete in the sense that one measurement corresponds to many solutions satisfying the forward model. In this paper, in light of the recently developed iNETT method in (2023 Inverse Problems39 055002), we propose a novel iterative regularization method for efficiently solving non-linear ill-posed inverse problems with potentially non-injective forward mappings and (locally) non-stable inversion mappings. Our approach integrates the inexact Newton iteration, the non-stationary iterated Tikhonov regularization, the two-point gradient acceleration method, and the structure-free feature-selection rule. The main difficulty in the regularization technique is how to design an appropriate regularization penalty, capturing the key feature of the unknown solution. To overcome this difficulty, we replace the traditional regularization penalty with a deep neural network, which is structure-free and can identify the correct solution in a huge null space. A comprehensive convergence analysis of the proposed algorithm is performed under standard assumptions of regularization theory. Numerical experiments with comparisons with other state-of-the-art methods for two model problems are presented to show the efficiency of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141588260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In what follows, we utilize the deep equilibrium approach to unfolding of the gradient descent algorithm, thereby constructing the backbone network architecture for solving the minimization model. We theoretically discuss the convergence of the proposed low-resolution prior equilibrium (LRPE) model and provide the necessary conditions to guarantee its convergence.

{"title":"A unified approach to inversion formulae for vector and tensor ray and radon transforms and the Natterer inequality","authors":"Alfred K Louis","doi":"10.1088/1361-6420/ad5d0e","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6420/ad5d0e","url":null,"abstract":"Most derivations of inversion formulae for x-ray or Radon transform are based on the projection theorem, where for fixed direction the Fourier transform of x-ray or Radon transform is calculated and compared with the Fourier transform of the searched-for function. In contrast to this we start here off from the searched-for field, calculate its Fourier transform for fixed direction, which is now a vector or tensor field, that we then expand in a suitable direction dependent basis. The expansion coefficients are recognized as the Fourier transform of longitudinal, transversal or mixed ray transforms or vectorial Radon transform respectively. The inverse Fourier transform of the searched-for field then directly leads to inversion formulae for those transforms applying problem adapted backprojections. When considering the Helmholtz decomposition of the field we immediately find inversion formulae for those transversal or longitudinal transforms. First inversion formulae for the longitudinal ray transform, similar to those given by Natterer (1986 <italic toggle=\"yes\">The Mathematics of Computerized Tomography</italic> (Teubner and Wiley)) for x-ray tomography, were given by Natterer-Wübbeling in 2001, Natterer and Wübbeling (2001 <italic toggle=\"yes\">Mathematical Methods in Image Reconstruction</italic> (SIAM)), but then not pursued by other authors. In this paper, we present the above described method and derive in a unified way inversion formulae for the ray transforms treated in Louis (2022 <italic toggle=\"yes\">Inverse Problems</italic>\u0000<bold>38</bold> 065008) containing the results from Louis (2022 <italic toggle=\"yes\">Inverse Problems</italic>\u0000<bold>38</bold> 065008) as special cases. Additionally we present new inversion formulae for the vectorial Radon transform. As a consequence the inversion formulae directly give Plancherel’s formulae for the vectorial or tensorial transforms. Together with the Natterer inequality, which is independent of the ray or Radon transforms, we present the Natterer stability of those vectorial and tensorial transforms.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141567220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such problems arise when one aims to recover parameters from given observations where the parameters or the data depend on time. There are various important applications being subject of current research that belong to this class of problems. Typically inverse problems are ill-posed in the sense that already small noise in the data causes tremendous errors in the solution. In this article we present two different concepts of ill-posedness: temporally (pointwise) ill-posedness and uniform ill-posedness with respect to the Lebesgue-Bochner setting. We investigate the two concepts by means of a typical setting consisting of a time-depending observation operator composed by a compact operator. Furthermore we develop regularization methods that are adapted to the respective class of ill-posedness.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141567213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet there is a significant challenge in forming focused, useful images due to multiple scattering effects through walls, whereas standard SAR imaging has an inherent single scattering assumption. This may be exacerbated with multi-static collections, since different scattering events will be observed from each angle and the data may not coherently combine well in a naive manner. To overcome this, we propose an image formation method which resolves full-wave effects through an approximately known wall or other arbitrary obstacle, which itself has some unknown ‘nuisance’ parameters that are determined as part of the reconstruction to provide well focused images. The method is more flexible and realistic than existing methods which treat a single wall as a flat layered medium, whilst being significantly computationally cheaper than full-wave methods, strongly motivated by practical considerations for through-wall SAR.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141567214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing uniqueness result requires the measured data to be in a bounded domain. To break this restriction, we design an incident system consisting of the superposition of point sources to reduce the measurement data from a bounded domain to a line above the grating profile. We derive reciprocity relations for point sources, diffracted fields, and total fields, respectively. Based on Rayleigh’s expansion and reciprocity relation of the total field, a grating profile with a MBC or TBCs can be uniquely determined from the phaseless total field data. An iterative algorithm is proposed to recover the Fourier modes of grating profiles at a fixed wavenumber. To implement this algorithm, we derive the Fréchet derivative of the total field operator and its adjoint operator. Some numerical examples are presented to verify the correctness of theoretical results and to show the effectiveness of our numerical algorithm.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141548474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
