Fitting a matrix of a given rank to data in a least squares sense can be done very effectively using 2nd order methods such as Levenberg-Marquardt by explicitly optimizing over a bilinear parameterization of the matrix. In contrast, when…

We deal with the shape reconstruction of inclusions in elastic bodies. For solving this inverse problem in practice, data fitting functionals are used. Those work better than the rigorous monotonicity methods from [5], but have no…
While latent diffusion models (LDMs) have emerged as powerful priors for inverse problems, existing LDM-based solvers frequently suffer from instability. In this work, we first identify the instability as a discrepancy between the solver…
