Abstract

It is well known that minimization problems involving sublinear regularization terms are ill-posed, in Sobolev spaces. Extended results to spaces of bounded variation functions BV were recently showed in the special case of bounded regularization terms. In this note, a generalization to sublinear regularization is presented in BV spaces. Notice that our results are optimal in the sense that linear regularization leads to well-posed minimization problems in BV spaces.
