We consider inverse medium scattering problem where the aim is to reconstruct a spatially dependent index of refraction form field measurements of waves scattered in a inhomogeneous medium. In particular we discuss the case, that the medium is sparse with respect to some a-priori known basis. Such inversion problems can be reformulated using Tikhonov-like functionals with $L^p$ or $\ell^p$ penalty terms. In the talk we first discuss continuity and differentiability properties of the forward problem, then the implications for the reconstruction scheme and finally we present numerical results.
