Dear all,

You are all invited to this week's NOMADS seminar at GSSI.
The seminar schedule is changed and will now run on Tuesdays @ 18:00 (CET) most of the times. This week's seminar is on March 09 at 18:00 (CET).

The speaker is Eugene Tyrtyshnikov from Moscow University and INM-RAS  (Russia). The talk will be focused on the Tikhonov solution to a class of linear system problems. Please find abstract and title below.

The seminar will be given via Zoom. To attend the seminar please use the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84101660726?pwd=TDhrWlFKdnhQVnBTZFdMWmw3Q3J4QT09

Further info about past and future meetings are available at the webpage: https://num-gssi.github.io/seminar/

Please feel free to distribute this announcement as you see fit.

Hope to see you all on Tuesday! 

Francesco and Nicola

Tikhonov's solution to a class of linear systems equivalent within perturbations

 
A standard approach to incorrect problems suggests that a problem of interest is reformulated with the knowledge of some additional a-priori information. This can be done by several well-known regularization techniques. Many practical problems are successfully solved on this way. What does not still look as completely satisfactory is that the new reset problem seems to appear rather implicitly in the very process of its solution.
 In 1980, A. N. Tikhonov proposed a reformulation [1] that arises explicitly before the discussion of the solution methods. He suggested a notion of normal solution to a family of  linear algebraic systems described by a given individual system and its vicinity comprising perturbed systems, under the assumption that there are compatible systems in the class notwithstanding the compatibility property of the given individual system. Tikhovov proved that the normal solution exists and is unique. However, a natural question about the correctness of the reset problem was not answered. In this talk we address a question of correctness of the reformulated incorrect problems that seems to have been missed in all previous considerations. The main result is the proof of correctness for Tikhonov's normal solution. Possible generalizations and difficulties will be also discussed.
