✦ Synopsis
This paper introduces a new nonparametric estimator based on penalized regression splines for linear operator equations when the data are noisy. A local roughness penalty that relies on local support properties of B-splines is introduced in order to deal with spatial heterogeneity of the function to be estimated. This estimator is shown to be consistent under weak conditions on the asymptotic behaviour of the singular values of the linear operator. Furthermore, in the usual nonparametric settings, it is shown to attain optimal rates of convergence. Then its good performances are confirmed by means of a simulation study.

A new numerical procedure is proposed for the reconstruction of the shape and volume of unknown objects from measurements of their radiation in the far field. This procedure is a variant and the linear sampling method has a very acceptable computational load and is fully automated. It is based on ex
