Inverse linear problems on Hilbert space and their Krylov solvability

Abstract

This monograph is centred at the intersection of three mathematical topics, that are theoretical in nature, yet with motivations and relevance deep rooted in applications: the linear inverse problems on abstract, in general infinite-dimensional Hilbert space; the notion of Krylov subspace associated to an inverse problem, i.e., the cyclic subspace built upon the datum of the inverse problem by repeated application of the linear operator; the possibility to solve the inverse problem by means of Krylov subspace methods, namely projection methods where the finite-dimensional truncation is made with respect to the Krylov subspace and the approximants converge to an exact solution to the inverse problem.
