Algorithms, examples and tests for denoising, deblurring, zooming, dequantization and compressive imaging with total variation (TV) and second-order total generalized variation (TGV) regularization.

Some algorithms are more efficient than others. We would prefer to chose an efficient algorithm, so it would be nice to have metrics for comparing algorithm efficiency. The complexity of an algorithm ...
