Abstract We suggest stochastic simulation techniques for solving two classes of linear and nonlinear inverse and ill-posed problems: (1) recovering the particle nanosize distribution from diffusion battery measurements, and (2) retrieving the step structure of the epitaxial films from the x-ray diffraction analysis. To solve these problems we develop three stochastic based methods: (1) the random projection method, a stochastic version of the Kaczmarz method, (2) a randomized SVD method, and (3) stochastic genetic algorithm. Results of comparative simulations of the three methods are also presented.
