The numerical solution of linear discrete ill-posed problems typically
requires regularization, i.e., replacement of the available ill-conditioned
problem by a nearby better conditioned one. The most popular regularization
methods for problems of small to moderate size are Tikhonov regularization and
truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD). By considering matrix nearness
problems related to Tikhonov regularization, several novel regularization
methods are derived. These methods share properties with both Tikhonov
regularization and TSVD, and can give approximate solutions of higher quality
than either one of these methods
