Title: Solution of ill-posed problems by means of Truncated SVD (Singular Value Decomposition)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6987431

We investigate /ital Truncated Singular Value Decomposition/ (TSVD) solutions to ill-posed least squares problems involving matrices with ill-determined as well as well-determined numerical rank. If a /ital discrete Picard condition/ is satisfied, then in /ital both cases/ the truncation parameter can be chosen such that the TSVD solution is satisfactory. The appropriate truncation parameter, giving the optimal signal-to-noise ratio in the solution, is the minimizer of the generalized cross-validation. 26 refs.
