We consider the one-order approximation of this formulation (1.14), and get the classical Landweber iteration from a given

and proved to be a stable regularization method according to the discrepancy principle by Li Cao and Bo Han in 2011 [10].
Compared with Landweber iteration, only half-time is needed with the same accuracy.
Subsequently, Jing Wang et al. applied this homotopy perturbation inversion method to investigate the EIT image
reconstruction problem for the first time in 2013, and testify the feasibility and effectiveness of the method in the cases
of different locations, sizes and numbers of the inclusions, as well as the robustness of the method to the noisy data [11].
However, these methods may not be effective for dealing with the discontinuous solution to the problems of image
processing and parameter identification, for example, the solution to the inverse problems consisted of large constant
regions or sharp edges. Instead, total variational regularization is one of the most effective methods for solving this kind
of problem. Total variation (TV), which was introduced by Rudin in 1987 [12], comes from real analysis. Total variation
regularization can achieve better reconstructions superior to those results obtained from the classical iteration methods.
Therefore, we can get the regularized solution by minimizing the following total variational penalized least squares
functional

where the total variational regularization functional J : X → R ∪ {+∞} is convex, and is a seminorm

Here X = BV (Ω) is the space of bounded variational function. With the similar idea of the Runge–Kutta type Landweber
iteration [7], we proposed a Runge–Kutta type total variation regularization for nonlinear ill-posed problems in 2014 [13]

We considered Bregman distance D
J
ξ
(u,
¯
u) as a regularization functional, and analyzed the convergence of the proposed
method under an appropriate stopping rule. Besides, we verified this method to be more suitable for problems with
discontinuous solutions by some numerical examples.
In view of the priority of the total variational regularization for discontinuous solution, we construct a new total variation
regularization for nonlinear inverse problems based on two-order approximation iterative algorithm (1.15) and Bregman
distance in this paper,

stability of the new iteration (1.16)(a)–(b) (be called New TV regularization method later in this paper), and compare the
inversion results of the new method with Runge–Kutta type iteration (1.5) and Landweber type total variational method
