Research Note: A unifying framework for the widely used stabilization of potential field inverse problems

We present a brief review of the widely used and well-known stabilizers in the inversion of potential field data. These include stabilizers that use L-2, L-1 and L-0 norms of the model parameters and the gradients of the model parameters. These stabilizers may all be realized in a common setting using two general forms with different weighting functions. Moreover, we show that this unifying framework encompasses the use of additional stabilizations which are not common for potential field inversion.
