Abstract

We consider the regularization of linear inverse problems by means of the minimization of a functional formed by a term of discrepancy to data and a Mumford-Shah functional term. The discrepancy term penalizes the L 2 distance between a datum and a version of the unknown function which is filtered by means of a non-invertible linear operator. Depending on the type of the involved operator, the resulting variational problem has had several applications: image deblurring, or inverse source problems in the case of compact operators, and image inpainting in the case of suitable local operators, as well as the modeling of propagation of fracture. We present counterexamples showing that, despite this regularization, the problem is actually in general ill-posed. We provide, however, existence results of minimizers in a reasonable class of smooth functions out of piecewise Lipschitz discontinuity sets in two dimensions. The compactness arguments we developed to derive the existence results stem from geometrical and regularity properties of domains, interpolation inequalities, and classical compactness arguments in Sobolev spaces.
