Convergence results and low-order rates for nonlinear Tikhonov regularization with oversmoothing penalty term

Bernd Hofmann and Robert Plato

Abstract

For Tikhonov regularization of ill-posed nonlinear operator equations, convergence is studied in a Hilbert scale setting. We include the case of oversmoothing penalty terms, which means that the exact solution does not belong to the domain of definition of the considered penalty functional. In this case, we try to close a gap in the present theory, where Hölder-type convergence rates results have been proven under corresponding source conditions, but assertions on norm convergence for regularized solutions without source conditions are completely missing. A result of the present work is to provide sufficient conditions for convergence under a priori and a posteriori regularization parameter choice strategies without any additional smoothness assumption on the solution. The obtained error estimates moreover allow us to prove low-order convergence rates under associated (for example logarithmic) source conditions. Some numerical illustrations are also given.
