The symmetric Lanczos method is commonly applied to reduce large-scale symmetric linear discrete ill-posed problems to small ones with a symmetric tridiagonal matrix. We investigate how quickly the nonnegative subdiagonal entries of this matrix decay to zero. Their fast decay to zero suggests that there is little benefit in expressing the solution of the discrete ill-posed problems in terms of the eigenvectors of the matrix compared with using a basis of Lanczos vectors, which are cheaper to compute. We will also show that a truncated singular value decomposition, made up of a few of the largest singular values and associated left and right singular vectors, of the matrix of a large-scale linear discrete ill-posed problems can be computed quite inexpensively by an implicitly restarted Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization method. Extensions to hybrid methods for the solution of linear discrete ill-posed problems with several right-hand side vectors will be made. Applications include multi-channel image restoration when the image degradation model is described by a linear system of equations with multiple right-hand sides that are contaminated by errors.
