Abstract:
In the space of functions of two variables with Hardy–Krause property, new notions of higher-order total variations and Banach spaces of functions of two variables with bounded higher variations are introduced. The connection of these spaces with Sobolev spaces $W^m_1$, $m\in\mathbb N$, is studied. In Sobolev spaces, a wide class of integral functionals with the weak regularization properties and the $H$-property is isolated. It is proved that the application of these functionals in the Tikhonov variational scheme generates for $m\ge3$ the convergence of approximate solutions with respect to the total variation of order $m-3$. The results are naturally extended to the case of functions of $N$ variables.
Keywords:higher-order total variations for functions of several variables, regularization of ill-posed problems.
