Abstract

A framework for an iterative reconstruction algorithm is described which combines two or more of an ordered subset method, a preconditioner method, and a nested loop method. In one type of implementation a nested loop (NL) structure is employed where the inner loop sub-problems are solved using ordered subset (OS) methods. The inner loop may be solved using OS and a preconditioner method. In other implementations, the inner loop problems are created by augmented Lagrangian methods and then solved using OS method.
