We propose a numerical method for recovering discontinuous conductivity distributions, by reformulating it as an optimization problem with L 1 fitting and total variation penalty subject to PDE constraints. We establish continuity and differentiability results for the forward map, the well-posedness of the optimization problem, and present an easy-to-implement and robust numerical method based on successive linearization, smoothing and iterative reweighing. Extensive numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. %Z This version is the author accepted manuscript.
