For the linear inverse problem with sparsity constraints, the $l_0$ regularized problem is NP-hard, and existing approaches either utilize greedy algorithms to find almost-optimal solutions or to approximate the $l_0$ regularization with…

Over the last decades, the total variation (TV) evolved to one of the most broadly-used regularisation functionals for inverse problems, in particular for imaging applications. When first introduced as a regulariser, higher-order…

Total Generalized Variation (TGV) has recently been introduced as penalty functional for modelling images with edges as well as smooth variations. It can be interpreted as a "sparse" penalization of optimal balancing from the first up to…

This paper studies Tikhonov regularization for finitely smoothing operators in Banach spaces when the penalization enforces too much smoothness in the sense that the penalty term is not finite at the true solution. In a Hilbert space…
