Tikhonov Regularization with a Solution Constraint

Abstract

Many numerical methods for the solution of linear ill-posed problems apply Tikhonov regularization. This paper presents a modification of a numerical method proposed by Golub and von Matt for quadratically constrained least-squares problems and applies it to Tikhonov regularization of large-scale linear discrete ill-posed problems. The method is based on partial Lanczos bidiagonalization and Gauss quadrature. Computed examples illustrating its performance are presented.
