Abstract

We study weighted Tikhonov regularization for large-scale linear discrete ill-posed problems with random noise. Under a polynomial upper-bound assumption on the generalized eigenvalues of the discrete forward operator, we derive stochastic error bounds for two noise models: expectation bounds for independent zero-mean bounded-variance noise, and high-probability bounds for independent sub-Gaussian noise. The analysis yields an a priori parameter-choice rule and suggests an adaptive strategy suitable for large-scale computation. Numerical experiments support the theory and show that the predicted parameter is nearly optimal and that the adaptive method is effective in practice.
