The discretized discrepancy principle under general source conditions

We discuss adaptive strategies for choosing regularization parameters in Tikhonov–Phillips regularization of discretized linear operator equations. Two rules turn out to be based entirely on data from the underlying regularization scheme. Among them, only the discrepancy principle allows us to search for the optimal regularization parameter from the easiest problem. This potential advantage cannot be achieved by the standard projection scheme. We present a modified scheme, in which the discretization level varies with the successive regularization parameters, which has the advantage, mentioned before.
