DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO SEMINAR ACTIVITIES SCIENTIFIC COMPUTATION SEMINAR - Thursday, April 6, 1989 Professor Per Christian Hansen*, of the University of California at Los Angeles, will speak on ``Solution of Discrete Regularization Problems by Means of Truncated SVD''. TIME: 1:30 PM ROOM: DC 1304 ABSTRACT We show how the truncated SVD (TSVD) can be used to compute regularized least-squares solutions to discrete ill-posed problems. We also compare the TSVD solution with the solution computed by means of Tichonov regularization, and we give perturbation bounds for these solutions. An important result is that neither of the methods yields a reasonable solution unless a discrete Picard condition is satisfied. In the last part of the talk, we try to give an overview of efficient numerical algorithms for computing TSVD solutions. __________ * On leave from UNI.C, Technical University of Denmark, DK-2800 Lyngby -- Violet R.
