Abstract

This article combines techniques from two fields of applied mathematics: optimization theory and inverse problems. We investigate a generalized conditional gradient method and its connection to an iterative shrinkage method, which has been recently proposed for solving inverse problems.The iterative shrinkage method aims at the solution of non-quadratic minimization problems where the solution is expected to have a sparse representation in a known basis. We show that it can be interpreted as a generalized conditional gradient method. We prove the convergence of this generalized method for general class of functionals, which includes non-convex functionals. This also gives a deeper understanding of the iterative shrinkage method.
