Both L1 and homotopic L0 minimizations have been used in compressed-sensing MRI reconstruction. In this abstract, we propose a homotopic L0-L1 hybrid minimization algorithm such that it has the benefit of both L1 and homotopic L0 minimizations. The proposed algorithm minimizes the L0 quasi-norm of large transform coefficients but the L1 norm of small transform coefficients for the image to be reconstructed. The simulation results show the proposed algorithm outperforms both L1 and homotopic L0 minimization algorithms when the same reduction factor is used.
