Abstract

The concept of numerical pseudodifferential operator, which is an extension of numerical differentiation, is suggested. Numerical pseudodifferential operator just is calculating the value of the pseudodifferential operator with unbounded symbol. Many ill-posed problems can lead to numerical pseudodifferential operators. Fourier regularization is a very simple and effective method for recovering the stability of numerical pseudodifferential operators. A systematically theoretical analysis and some concrete examples are provided.
