ABSTRACT

A Multi-Level Algorithm for the Solution of Moment Problems

Otmar Scherzer and Thomas Strohmer


We study numerical methods for the solution of general linear moment problems, where the solution belongs to a family of nested subspaces of a Hilbert space. Multi-level algorithms, based on the conjugate gradient method and the Landweber-Richardson method are proposed, that determine the ``optimal'' reconstruction level a posteriori from quantities that arise during the numerical calculations. As an important example we discuss the reconstruction of band-limited signals from irregularly spaced noisy samples, when the actual bandwidth of the signal is not available. Numerical examples show the usefulness of the proposed algorithms.
