A Levenberg–Marquardt method based on Sobolev gradients

Abstract We extend the theory of Sobolev gradients to include variable metric methods, such as Newton’s method and the Levenberg–Marquardt method, as gradient descent iterations associated with stepwise variable inner products. In particular, we obtain existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic convergence results for a gradient flow based on a variable inner product.
