contents Computing the regularized solution of Bayesian linear inverse problems as well as the corresponding regularization parameter is highly desirable in many applications. This paper proposes a novel iterative method, termed the Projected Newton method (PNT), that can simultaneously update the regularization parameter and solution step by step without requiring any high-cost matrix inversions or decompositions. By reformulating the Tikhonov regularization as a constrained minimization problem and writing its Lagrangian function, a Newton-type method coupled with a Krylov subspace method, called the generalized Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization, is employed for the unconstrained Lagrangian function. The resulting PNT algorithm only needs solving a small-scale linear system to get a descent direction of a merit function at each iteration, thus significantly reducing computational overhead. Rigorous convergence results are proved, showing that PNT always converges to the unique regularized solution and the corresponding Lagrangian multiplier. Experimental results on both small and large-scale Bayesian inverse problems demonstrate its excellent convergence property, robustness and efficiency. Given that the most demanding computational tasks in PNT are primarily matrix-vector products, it is particularly well-suited for large-scale problems.
