Abstract

Most preconditioners for Toeplitz systems An(f) arising in the discretization of ill-posed problems give rise to instability and noise amplification. Indeed, since these preconditioners are constructed from linear approximation processes of the generating function f, they inherit the ill-posedness of the problem.

Here we first identify a novel set of approximation processes which regularizes the inversion of real functions. Then, such processes are used as a basic tool for the computation of preconditioners endowed with regularizing properties. We show that these preconditioners provide fast convergence and noise control of iterative methods for discrete ill-posed Toeplitz systems.
