Abstract

We discuss a finite-element method based on the mixed least-squares formulation. The cost functional turns out to be a polynomial so that its gradient and Hessian can be computed efficiently. A multi-level Newton iteration is introduced for minimizing the cost functional that can converge from a rough initial guess. Error estimates are derived which not only are optimal in a certain configuration, but also supply rules for choosing regularization parameters according to the mesh size and the random noise in the data.
