Nonsmooth Regularization

The purpose of this paper is to present to the Inverse Problems community some recent results regarding \nonsmooth", \edge preserving" regularization methods. Emphasis is placed on the penalized least squares (Tikhonov) regularization approach with penalty functionals of total variation type, although other nonquadratic penalty functionals are brieey discussed.
