This paper considers the inversion of ill-posed linear operators. To regularise the problem the solution is enforced to lie in a non-convex subset. Theoretical properties for the stable inversion are derived and an iterative algorithm akin…

The local well-posedness problem is considered for the Dirac-Klein-Gordon system in two space dimensions for data in Fourier-Lebesgue spaces $\hat{H}^{s,r}$ , where $\|f\|_{\hat{H}^{s,r}} = \| \langle \xi \rangle^s \hat{f}\|_{L^{r'}}$ and…

The aim of this note is to present some new results concerning "almost everywhere" well-posedness and stability of continuity equations with measure initial data. The proofs of all such results can be found in \cite{amfifrgi}, together with…

In this paper we propose a Bayesian answer to testing problems when the hypotheses are not well separated. The idea of the method is to study the posterior distribution of a discrepancy measure between the parameter and the model we want to…

We focus on Bayesian inverse problems with Gaussian likelihood, linear forward model, and priors that can be formulated as a Gaussian mixture. Such a mixture is expressed as an integral of Gaussian density functions weighted by a mixing…

In inverse problems, the parameters of a model are estimated based on observations of the model response. The Bayesian approach is powerful for solving such problems; one formulates a prior distribution for the parameter state that is…

Estimation of parameters that obey specific constraints is crucial in statistics and machine learning; for example, when parameters are required to satisfy boundedness, monotonicity, or linear inequalities. Traditional approaches impose…
