UNQW04 - UQ for inverse problems in complex systems

We consider the inverse problem of recovering an unknown functional parameter from noisy and indirect observations. We adopt a Bayesian approach and, for a non-smooth, non-Gaussian and sparsity-promoting class of prior measures, show that maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimates are characterized by the minimizers of a generalized Onsager-Machlup functional of the posterior. We also discuss some posterior consistency results. This is based on joint works with S. Agapiou, M.Burger and T. Helin.
