As a consequence, the new regularization methods can retain both the regularization effect and the accuracy of solution. The preconditioned coefficient matrix is arranged to be equilibrated or diagonally dominated to derive the optimal scales in the introduced preconditioning matrix. Then we apply the iterative scheme to find the solution of ill-posed linear inverse problem. Two theorems are proved that the iterative sequences are monotonically convergent to the true solution. The presently proposed optimally generalized regularization methods are able to overcome the ill-posedness of linear inverse problems, and provide rather accurate numerical solution.}, DOI = {10.3970/cmc.2012.029.103} }
