Bregman iteration has been around since 1967. It turns out to be unreasonably effective for optimization problems involving L1, BV and related penalty terms. This is partly because of a miraculous cancellation of error. We will discuss this and give biomedical imaging applications, related to compressive sensing and Total Variation based restoration.
