We consider the problem of optimal recovery of an element $u$ of a Hilbert space $mathcal{H}$ from $m$ measurements obtained through known linear functionals on $mathcal{H}$. Problems of this type are well studied cite{MRW} under an assumption that $u$ belongs to a prescribed model class, e.g. a known compact subset of $mathcal{H}$. Motivated by reduced modeling for parametric partial differential equations, this paper considers another setting where the additional information about $u$ is in the form of how well $u$ can be approximated by a certain known subspace $V_n$ of $mathcal{H}$ of dimension $n$, or more generally, how well $u$ can be approximated by each $k$-dimensional subspace $V_k$ of a sequence of nested subspaces $V_0subset V_1cdotssubset V_n$. A recovery algorithm for the one-space formulation, proposed in cite{MPPY}, is proven here to be optimal and to have a simple formulation, if certain favorable bases are chosen to represent $V_n$ and the measurements. The major contribution of the present paper is to analyze the multi-space case for which it is shown that the set of all $u$ satisfying the given information can be described as the intersection of a family of known ellipsoids in $mathcal{H}$. It follows that a near optimal recovery algorithm in the multi-space problem is to identify any point in this intersection which can provide a much better accuracy than in the one-space problem. Two iterative algorithms based on alternating projections are proposed for recovery in the multi-space problem. A detailed analysis of one of them provides a posteriori performance estimates for the iterates, stopping criteria, and convergence rates. Since the limit of the algorithm is a point in the intersection of the aforementioned ellipsoids, it provides a near optimal recovery for $u$.

This paper studies the problem of approximating a function $f$ in a Banach space $X$ from measurements $l_j(f)$, $j=1,dots,m$, where the $l_j$ are linear functionals from $X^*$. Most results study this problem for classical Banach spaces $X$ such as the $L_p$ spaces, $1le ple infty$, and for $K$ the unit ball of a smoothness space in $X$. Our interest in this paper is in the model classes $K=K(epsilon,V)$, with $epsilon>0$ and $V$ a finite dimensional subspace of $X$, which consists of all $fin X$ such that $dist(f,V)_Xle epsilon$. These model classes, called {it approximation sets}, arise naturally in application domains such as parametric partial differential equations, uncertainty quantification, and signal processing. A general theory for the recovery of approximation sets in a Banach space is given. This theory includes tight a priori bounds on optimal performance, and algorithms for finding near optimal approximations. We show how the recovery problem for approximation sets is connected with well-studied concepts in Banach space theory such as liftings and the angle between spaces. Examples are given that show how this theory can be used to recover several recent results on sampling and data assimilation.
This paper is concerned with the recovery of (approximate) solutions to parabolic problems from incomplete and possibly inconsistent observational data, given on a time-space cylinder that is a strict subset of the computational domain under consideration. Unlike previous approaches to this and related problems our starting point is a regularized least squares formulation in a continuous infinite-dimensional setting that is based on stable variational time-space formulations of the parabolic PDE. This allows us to derive a priori as well as a posteriori error bounds for the recovered states with respect to a certain reference solution. In these bounds the regularization parameter is disentangled from the underlying discretization. An important ingredient for the derivation of a posteriori bounds is the construction of suitable Fortin operators which allow us to control oscillation errors stemming from the discretization of dual norms. Moreover, the variational framework allows us to contrive preconditioners for the discrete problems whose application can be performed in linear time, and for which the condition numbers of the preconditioned systems are uniformly proportional to that of the regularized continuous problem. In particular, we provide suitable stopping criteria for the iterative solvers based on the a posteriori error bounds. The presented numerical experiments quantify the theoretical findings and demonstrate the performance of the numerical scheme in relation with the underlying discretization and regularization.
Recent studies have demonstrated improved skill in numerical weather prediction via the use of spatially correlated observation error covariance information in data assimilation systems. In this case, the observation weighting matrices (inverse error covariance matrices) used in the assimilation may be full matrices rather than diagonal. Thus, the computation of matrix-vector products in the variational minimization problem may be very time-consuming, particularly if the parallel computation of the matrix-vector product requires a high degree of communication between processing elements. Hence, we introduce a well-known numerical approximation method, called the fast multipole method (FMM), to speed up the matrix-vector multiplications in data assimilation. We explore a particular type of FMM that uses a singular value decomposition (SVD-FMM) and adjust it to suit our new application in data assimilation. By approximating a large part of the computation of the matrix-vector product, the SVD-FMM technique greatly reduces the computational complexity compared with the standard approach. We develop a novel possible parallelization scheme of the SVD-FMM for our application, which can reduce the communication costs. We investigate the accuracy of the SVD-FMM technique in several numerical experiments: we first assess the accuracy using covariance matrices that are created using different correlation functions and lengthscales; then investigate the impact of reconditioning the covariance matrices on the accuracy; and finally examine the feasibility of the technique in the presence of missing observations. We also provide theoretical explanations for some numerical results. Our results show that the SVD-FMM technique has potential as an efficient technique for assimilation of a large volume of observational data within a short time interval.
Reduced model spaces, such as reduced basis and polynomial chaos, are linear spaces $V_n$ of finite dimension $n$ which are designed for the efficient approximation of families parametrized PDEs in a Hilbert space $V$. The manifold $mathcal{M}$ that gathers the solutions of the PDE for all admissible parameter values is globally approximated by the space $V_n$ with some controlled accuracy $epsilon_n$, which is typically much smaller than when using standard approximation spaces of the same dimension such as finite elements. Reduced model spaces have also been proposed in [13] as a vehicle to design a simple linear recovery algorithm of the state $uinmathcal{M}$ corresponding to a particular solution when the values of parameters are unknown but a set of data is given by $m$ linear measurements of the state. The measurements are of the form $ell_j(u)$, $j=1,dots,m$, where the $ell_j$ are linear functionals on $V$. The analysis of this approach in [2] shows that the recovery error is bounded by $mu_nepsilon_n$, where $mu_n=mu(V_n,W)$ is the inverse of an inf-sup constant that describe the angle between $V_n$ and the space $W$ spanned by the Riesz representers of $(ell_1,dots,ell_m)$. A reduced model space which is efficient for approximation might thus be ineffective for recovery if $mu_n$ is large or infinite. In this paper, we discuss the existence and construction of an optimal reduced model space for this recovery method, and we extend our search to affine spaces. Our basic observation is that this problem is equivalent to the search of an optimal affine algorithm for the recovery of $mathcal{M}$ in the worst case error sense. This allows us to perform our search by a convex optimization procedure. Numerical tests illustrate that the reduced model spaces constructed from our approach perform better than the classical reduced basis spaces.
We consider the problem of estimating the density of buyers and vendors in a nonlinear parabolic price formation model using measurements of the price and the transaction rate. Our approach is based on a work by Puel et al., see cite{Puel2002}, and results in a optimal control problem. We analyse this problems and provide stability estimates for the controls as well as the unknown density in the presence of measurement errors. Our analytic findings are supported with numerical experiments.
