A quantum-mechanical system comes naturally equipped with a convex space: each (Hermitian) operator has a (real) expectation value, and the expectation value of the square any Hermitian operator must be non-negative. This space is of…
Consider an operator equation (*) $B(u)-f=0$ in a real Hilbert space. Let us call this equation ill-posed if the operator $B'(u)$ is not boundedly invertible, and well-posed otherwise. The DSM (dynamical systems method) for solving equation…
