The original nonlinear coefficient inverse problem is reduced to an equivalent system of two uniquely solvable linear integral equations of the first kind with respect to the sound speed and absorption coefficients. Estimates are made, substantiating the multistage method for two unknown coefficients. These estimates show that given sufficiently low frequencies and small inhomogeneities, the residual functional for the nonlinear inverse problem approaches a convex one. This solution method for nonlinear coefficient inverse problems is not linked to the limit approach as frequency tends to zero, but assumes solving the inverse problem using sufficiently low, but not zero, frequencies at the first stage. For small inhomogeneities that are typical, for instance, for medical tasks, carrying out real experiments at such frequencies does not present major difficulties. The capabilities of the method are demonstrated on a model inverse problem with unknown sound speed and absorption coefficients. The method effectively solves the nonlinear problem with parameter values typical for tomographic diagnostics of soft tissues in medicine. A resolution of approximately 2 mm was achieved using an average sounding pulse wavelength of 5 mm.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140315428","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}

However, this algorithm can be computationally inefficient without appropriately tuned proposals. As a remedy, we present an adaptive RJMCMC algorithm for the curve fitting problems by extending the adaptive Metropolis sampler from a fixed-dimensional to a trans-dimensional case. In this presented algorithm, both the size and orientation of the proposal function can be automatically adjusted in the sampling process. Specifically, the curve fitting setting allows for the approximation of the posterior covariance of the <italic toggle=\"yes\">a priori</italic> unknown function on a representative grid of points. This approximation facilitates the definition of efficient proposals. In addition, we introduce an auxiliary-tempered version of this algorithm via non-reversible parallel tempering. To evaluate the algorithms, we conduct numerical tests involving a series of controlled experiments. The results demonstrate that the adaptive algorithms exhibit significantly higher efficiency compared to the conventional ones. Even in cases where the posterior distribution is highly complex, leading to ineffective convergence in the auxiliary-tempered conventional RJMCMC, the proposed auxiliary-tempered adaptive RJMCMC performs satisfactorily. Furthermore, we present a realistic inverse example to test the algorithms. The successful application of the adaptive algorithm distinguishes it again from the conventional one that fails to converge effectively even after millions of iterations.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140315617","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}

Often, the Hessian of the fidelity term is computationally unavailable while the Hessian of the regularizer allows for cheap matrix-vector products. In this paper, we study an L-BFGS method that takes advantage of this structure. We show that the method converges globally without convexity assumptions and that the convergence is linear under a Kurdyka–Łojasiewicz-type inequality. In addition, we prove linear convergence to cluster points near which the objective function is strongly convex. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that linear convergence of an L-BFGS method is established in a non-convex setting. The convergence analysis is carried out in infinite dimensional Hilbert space, which is appropriate for inverse problems but has not been done before. Numerical results show that the new method outperforms other structured L-BFGS methods and classical L-BFGS on non-convex real-life problems from medical image registration. It also compares favorably with classical L-BFGS on ill-conditioned quadratic model problems. An implementation of the method is freely available.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140315621","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}

Recently, Arndt <italic toggle=\"yes\">et al</italic> (2023 <italic toggle=\"yes\">Inverse Problems</italic>\u0000<bold>39</bold> 125018) exploited invertible residual networks (iResNets) to learn provably convergent regularizations given reasonable assumptions. They enforced these guarantees by approximating the linear forward operator with an iResNet. Supervised training on relevant samples introduces data dependency into the approach. An open question in this context is to which extent the data’s inherent structure influences the training outcome, i.e. the learned reconstruction scheme. Here, we address this delicate interplay of training design and data dependency from a Bayesian perspective and shed light on opportunities and limitations. We resolve these limitations by analyzing reconstruction-based training of the inverses of iResNets, where we show that this optimization strategy introduces a level of data-dependency that cannot be achieved by approximation training. We further provide and discuss a series of numerical experiments underpinning and extending the theoretical findings.","PeriodicalId":50275,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems","volume":"107 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140315293","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}
