The exact solution is feasible becauseThe feasible set is convex and weakly closed. A minimizing sequence has bounded residual and bounded ; the coercivity assumption from part (a), applied to a fixed positive weighted objective, makes it bounded in . Reflexivity gives a weakly convergent subsequence, and weak lower semicontinuity of the residual and keeps its limit feasible and minimizing.
Since minimizes over ,The source condition in variational regularization and feasibility then yieldThus the claimed constant is .
