Abstract: Reconstructing images from ill-posed inverse problems often utilizes
total variation regularization in order to recover discontinuities in
the data while also removing noise and other artifacts. Total variation
regularization has been successful in recovering images for (noisy) Abel
transformed data, where object boundaries and data support will lead to
sharp edges in the reconstructed image. In this work, we analyze the
behavior of $BV$ solutions to the Abel inverse problem, deriving
a priori estimates on the recovery. In particular, we provide
$L^2$-stability bounds on $BV$ solutions to the Abel inverse problem.
These bounds yield error estimates on images reconstructed from a
proposed total variation regularized minimization problem.
