Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The project was motivated by a control problem in image processing. This lead to the problem of analyzing • a parameter identification problem for degenerate parabolic equations • defining appropriate, parameter-dependent function spaces extending the general regularization theory for non-linear operator equations to degenerate parameter identification problems in order to apply regularization methods with sparsity constraints to parabolic control problem in image processing (mammography screening, X-ray images). The results can be summarized as follows. • An existence and uniqueness result for the above mentioned parameter identification problems in weighted Sobolv-spaces has been obtained, • first order optimality conditions were obtained for he optimization problem (quadratic functional), • an optimized presentation scenario of mammography images was generated and tested with real life data. This was the main application of the optimal control problem in medical imaging.
