Assume the displayed variational minimizer exists and $K:U\to V$ is bounded and linear. The smooth data-fidelity term and the subdifferential sum rule giveUse the supplied source condition in variational regularization $p^{†}=K^{\ast }w\in \partial J(u^{†})$. Put $e=f^{\delta }-f$ and $q=K(u_{\alpha }-u^{†})$, so $\Vert e\Vert \le \delta$. By the symmetric Bregman distance identity,Dropping the last square and using $\Vert e-\alpha w{\Vert }^2\le 2\Vert e{\Vert }^2+2{\alpha }^2\Vert w{\Vert }^2$ proves the source-condition estimate for symmetric Bregman distance:The source condition also makes $u^{†}$ a $J$-minimizing exact solution: for $Ku=f$, its subgradient inequality has zero pairing with $u-u^{†}$. Existence of $u_{\alpha }$ is not implied by properness and lower semicontinuity alone; it is a hypothesis when no coercivity/compactness condition is provided.
