We quickly review existing mollification regularization methods and provide two new approximate solutions to a general ill-posed equation $T(f) =g$ where $T$ can be nonlinear. The regularized solutions we define extend the work of Bonnefond and Mar\\'echal \\cite{xapi}, and trace their origins in the variational formulation of mollification, which to the best of our knowledge, was first introduced by Lannes et al. \\cite{lannes}. In addition to consistency results, for the first time, we provide some convergence rates for a mollification method defined through a variational formulation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-17T19:48:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "15A29", "47A52", "65F22", "65N20" ], "keywords": [ "nonlinear ill-posed problems", "review existing mollification regularization methods", "variational formulation", "quickly review existing mollification regularization", "general ill-posed equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
