Abstract

The aim of this note is to discuss the convergence properties of various methods for the approximate solution of ill-posed equations. If an operator T between Banach spaces has a non-closed range, then there exists no linear uniformly convergent approximation, method, but at most pointwise approximation methods. for the approximate solution of an equation (1) Tx = y. These methods in general converge arbitrarily slow, i.e. there may exist some y for which the approximations have a good convergence rate, but in general for each order of convergence there are right hand sides y with a worse convergence rate. This phenomenon is not restricted to ill-posed equations. Recently I have shown [121 that many common approximation schemes for integral equations of the second kind show arbitrarily slow convergence, too.
