Abstract

We present a numerical algorithm for solving large scale Tikhonov Regularization problems. The approach we consider introduces a splitting of the regularization functional which uses a domain decomposition, a partitioning of the solution and modified regularization functionals on each sub domain. We perform a feasibility analysis in terms of the algorithm and software scalability, to this end we use the scale-up factor which measures the performance gain in terms of time complexity reduction. We verify the reliability of the approach on a consistent test case (the Data Assimilation problem for oceanographic models).
