We study the choice of the regularisation parameter for linear ill-posed problems in the presence of data noise and operator perturbations, for which a bound on the operator error is known but the data noise-level is unknown. We introduce a new family of semi-heuristic parameter choice rules that can be used in the stated scenario. We prove convergence of the new rules and provide numerical experiments that indicate an improvement compared to standard heuristic rules.

We investigate the convergence theory of several known as well as new heuristic parameter choice rules for convex Tikhonov regularisation. The success of such methods is dependent on whether certain restrictions on the noise are satisfied. In the linear theory, such conditions are well understood and hold for typically irregular noise. In this paper, we extend the convergence analysis of heuristic rules using noise restrictions to the convex setting and prove convergence of the aforementioned methods therewith. The convergence theory is exemplified for the case of an ill-posed problem with a diagonal forward operator in $\ell^q$ spaces. Numerical examples also provide further insight.

We study the choice of the regularisation parameter for linear ill-posed problems in the presence of noise that is possibly unbounded but only finite in a weaker norm, and when the noise-level is unknown. For this task, we analyse several heuristic parameter choice rules, such as the quasi-optimality, heuristic discrepancy, and Hanke-Raus rules and adapt the latter two to the weakly bounded noise case. We prove convergence and convergence rates under certain noise conditions. Moreover, we analyse and provide conditions for the convergence of the parameter choice by the generalised cross-validation and predictive mean-square error rules.
