Example B1 Prompt Excerpt

**Role:** You are a numerical analysis engineer tasked with solving an ill-conditioned linear discrete ill-posed problem.
**Task:** Given an ill-conditioned matrix `K` (saved as `data/K.npy`) and a noisy observation vector `y` (saved as `data/y_obs.csv`), solve the linear system $K x = y$. Because the matrix is ill-conditioned and the data contain noise, the direct least squares solution will dramatically amplify the noise. Your task is to use **Tikhonov regularization** combined with the **L-curve criterion** to automatically select the optimal regularization parameter $\lambda$ and produce a stable approximate solution.

### I. Core Method and Formulas
1. **Tikhonov regularized solution**
   For a given regularization parameter $\lambda > 0$, the solution is:
   $$
   x_\lambda = (K^T K + \lambda^2 I)^{-1} K^T y
