基于基底合并的分片稀疏恢复

如我们所知,诸如视频和图像等信号可以在某些框架下被表示为稀疏信号,因此稀疏恢复(或稀疏表示)是信号处理、图像处理、计算机视觉、机器学习等领域中被广泛研究的问题之一.通常大多数在稀疏恢复中的有效快速算法都是基于求解$l^0$或者$l^1$优化问题.但是,对于求解$l^0$或者$l^1$优化问题以及相关算法所得到的理论充分性条件对信号的稀疏性要求过严.考虑到在很多实际应用中,信号是具有一定结构的,也即,信号的非零元素具有一定的分布特点.在本文中,我们研究分片稀疏恢复的唯一性条件和可行性条件.分片稀疏性是指一个稀疏信号由多个稀疏的子信号合并所得.相应的采样矩阵是由多个基底合并组成.考虑到采样矩阵的分块结构,我们引入了子矩阵的互相干性,由此可以得到相应$l^0$或者$l^1$优化问题可精确恢复解的稀疏度的新上界.本文结果表明.通过引入采样矩阵的分块结构信息.可以改进分片稀疏恢复的充分性条件.以及相应$l^0$或者$l^1$优化问题整体稀疏解的可靠性条件.

Near-optimal data-independent point locations for radial basis function interpolation

The goal of this paper is to construct data-independent optimal point sets for interpolation by radial basis functions. The interpolation points are chosen to be uniformly good for all functions from the associated native Hilbert space. To this end we collect various results on the power function, which we use to show that good interpolation points are always uniformly distributed in a certain sense. We also prove convergence of two different greedy algorithms for the construction of near-optimal sets which lead to stable interpolation. Finally, we provide several examples. AMS subject classification 41A05, 41063, 41065, 65D05, 65D15This work has been done with the support of the Vigoni CRUI-DAAD programme, for the years 2001/2002, between the Universities of Verona and Göttingen.     

Tree wavelet approximations with applications

We construct a tree wavelet approximation by using a constructive greedy scheme (CGS). We define a function class which contains the functions whose piecewise polynomial approximations generated by the CGS have a prescribed global convergence rate and establish embedding properties of this class. We provide sufficient conditions on a tree index set and on bi-orthogonal wavelet bases which ensure optimal order of convergence for the wavelet approximations encoded on the tree index set using the bi-orthogonal wavelet bases. We then show that if we use the tree index set associated with the partition generated by the CGS to encode a wavelet approximation, it gives optimal order of convergence.     

Approximation Algorithms for Dispersion Problems

Given a collection of weighted sets, each containing at most k elements drawn from a finite base set, the k-set packing problem is to find a maximum weight sub-collection of disjoint sets. A greedy algorithm for this problem approximates it to within a factor of k, and a natural local search has been shown to approximate it to within a factor of roughly k − 1. However, neither paradigm can yield approximations that improve on this.We present an approximation algorithm for the weighted k-set packing problem that combines the two paradigms by starting with an initial greedy solution and then repeatedly choosing the best possible local improvement. The algorithm has a performance ratio of 2(k + 1)/3, which we show is asymptotically tight. This is the first asymptotic improvement over the straightforward ratio of k.     

Regret bounds for Narendra-Shapiro bandit algorithms

Narendra-Shapiro (NS) algorithms are bandit-type algorithms developed in the 1960s. NS-algorithms have been deeply studied in infinite horizon but little non-asymptotic results exist for this type of bandit algorithms. In this paper, we focus on a non-asymptotic study of the regret and address the following question: are Narendra-Shapiro bandit algorithms competitive from this point of view? In our main result, we obtain some uniform explicit bounds for the regret of (over)-penalized-NS algorithms. We also extend to the multi-armed case some convergence properties of penalized-NS algorithms towards a stationary Piecewise Deterministic Markov Process (PDMP). Finally, we establish some new sharp mixing bounds for these processes.
