Among the many regularization methods used for treating the problem, iterative methods have been shown to be effective. In this paper, we consider the case of a blurring function defined by space invariant and band-limited PSF, modeled by a linear system that has a band block Toeplitz structure with band Toeplitz blocks. In order to reduce the number of iterations required to obtain acceptable reconstructions, in 13 an inverse Toeplitz preconditioner for problems with a Toeplitz structure was proposed. The cost per iteration is of $O(n^{2}\log n)$ operations, where $n^{2}$ is the pixel number of the 2D image. In this paper, we propose inverse preconditioners with a band Toeplitz structure, which lower the cost to $O(n^{2})$ and in experiments showed the same speed of convergence and reconstruction efficiency as the inverse Toeplitz preconditioner.}, identifier = {05600502}, }
