In recent years, methods for sparse approximation have gained considerable attention and have been successfully applied to numerous problems in various mathematical disciplines. This work starts by illustrating applications for sparse approximation to introduce the concept of sparsity. Afterwards, the mathematical framework and basic mathematical principles are introduced. Particularly 1 minimization, which is an important tool in the sparsity context, will be introduced as well as available algorithms. This forms a profound background to approach the problem of stability in 1 minimization for ill-conditioned linear equations. It turns out that a tool arising from statistics – the elastic net – promises to attenuate stability problems, while preserving the benefits of 1 minimization. The connection between 1 minimization and the elastic net is discussed. Analytical properties of the elastic net are stated and corresponding algorithms are developed. Numerical troubles of 1 minimization are demonstrated for sample problems as well as the influence of the elastic net. Finally, given all necessary tools, the discussion leads to the highlight of exact-recovery conditions for elastic-net minimization.
