The density deconvolution problem involves recovering a target density g from a sample that has been corrupted by noise. From the perspective of Le Cam's local asymptotic normality theory, we show that non-parametric density deconvolution…

We investigate a dynamic inverse problem using a regularization which implements the so-called Wasserstein-$1$ distance. It naturally extends well-known static problems such as lasso or total variation regularized problems to a (temporally)…

It is common, in deconvolution problems, to assume that the measurement errors are identically distributed. In many real-life applications, however, this condition is not satisfied and the deconvolution estimators developed for…
