= Solution
A <singular system of a compact operator> is a family $(\sigma_i,u_i,v_i)$ with $\sigma_i>0$, $\sigma_i\to0$, orthonormal $u_i\in Y$ and $v_i\in X$, and
$$
Av_i=\sigma_i u_i,
\qquad
A^*u_i=\sigma_i v_i.
$$
On each singular vector, $A^*A+\alpha I$ acts by multiplication by $\sigma_i^2+\alpha$. Hence
$$
\boxed{
x_\alpha^\delta
=\sum_{i=1}^\infty
\frac{\sigma_i}{\sigma_i^2+\alpha}
(y^\delta,u_i)v_i.}
$$
The bounded filter $\sigma/(\sigma^2+\alpha)$ replaces the unstable inverse factor $1/\sigma$.
