Stability of Image-Reconstruction Algorithms

Robustness and stability of image-reconstruction algorithms have recently come under scrutiny. Their importance to medical imaging cannot be overstated. We review the known results for the topical variational regularization strategies ($\ell_2$ and $\ell_1$ regularization) and present novel stability results for $\ell_p$-regularized linear inverse problems for $p\in(1,\infty)$. Our results guarantee Lipschitz continuity for small $p$ and H\"{o}lder continuity for larger $p$. They generalize well to the $L_p(\Omega)$ function spaces.
