Solving deconvolution type problems by wavelet decomposition methods

Abstract

The paper considers an inverse problem associated with equations of the form Kf = g, where K is a convolution-type operator. The aim is to find a solution f for given function g. We construct approximate solutions by applying a wavelet basis that is well adapted to this problem. For this basis we calculate the elementary solutions that are the approximate preimages of the wavelets. The solution for the inverse problem is then constructed as an appropriate finite linear combination of the elementary solutions. Under certain assumptions we estimate the approximation error and discuss the advantages of the proposed scheme.
