We derive the error estimates by selecting the regularization parameter ? according to the adaptive method considered by Pereverzev and Schock in (2005), when the available data is f? with ?-f-f??- ??. The error estimate obtained in the setting of Hilbert scales { Xr}r?R generated by a densely defined, linear, unbounded, strictly positive self adjoint operator L:D(L)X?X is of optimal order. 2013 Elsevier Inc.
