The document discusses sparse regularization for inverse problems. It describes how sparse regularization can be used for tasks like denoising, inpainting, and image separation by posing them as optimization problems that minimize data fidelity and an L1 sparsity prior on the coefficients. Iterative soft thresholding is presented as an algorithm for solving the noisy sparse regularization problem. Examples are given of how sparse wavelet regularization can outperform other regularizers like Sobolev for tasks like image deblurring.
