Abstract
We introduce and discuss an iterative method of modified Landweber type for regularization of nonlinear operator equations in Banach spaces. Under smoothness and convexity assumptions on the solution space we present convergence and stability results. Furthermore, we will show that under the so-called approximate source conditions convergence rates may be achieved by a proper a-priori choice of the parameter of the presented algorithm. We will illustrate these theoretical results with a numerical example.
