A Mollification Framework For Improperly Posed Problems

M. Hegland and R.S. Anderssen

Abstract: Using classical semi-group results, a quite general theory is constructed for the mollificaiton of operator equations, where the operators are assumed to be translational invariant, and the choice of mollifier is quite general and includes B-splines as well as the more classical Gaussians. Among other things, specific conditions are derived which establish how the discretization must be related to the extent of the mollification in order to guarantee convergence and the boundedness of the error amplification. In addition, explicit procedures are given for the construction of finite difference formulas (stencils), and then applied to the ordinary and half-differentiation of observational data.
