Pointwise convergence of Fourier regularization for smoothing data

The classical smoothing data problem is analyzed in a Sobolev space under the assumption of white noise. A Fourier series method based on regularization endowed with generalized cross validation is considered to approximate the unknown function. This approximation is globally optimal, i.e., the mean integrated squared error reaches the optimal rate in the minimax sense. In this paper the pointwise convergence property is studied. Specifically, it is proved that the smoothed solution is locally convergent but not locally optimal. Examples of functions for which the approximation is subefficient are given. It is shown that optimality and superefficiency are possible when restricting to more regular subspaces of the Sobolev space.

Fourier multipliers for Sobolev spaces on the Heisenberg group

In this paper, it is shown that the class of right Fourier multipliers for the Sobolev space W ^k,p (H ⁿ ) coincides with the class of right Fourier multipliers for L ^p (H ⁿ ) for k ∈ ?, 1 < p < ∞. Towards this end, it is shown that the operators R _j $ \bar R $ _j ?^?1 and $ \bar R $ _j R _j ?^?1 are bounded on L ^p (H ⁿ ), 1 < p < ∞, where $$ R_j = \frac{\partial } {{\partial z_j }} - \frac{i} {4}\bar z_j \frac{\partial } {{\partial t}}, \bar R_j = \frac{\partial } {{\partial \bar z_j }} + \frac{i} {4}z_j \frac{\partial } {{\partial t}} $$ and ? is the sublaplacian on H ⁿ . This proof is based on the Calderon-Zygmund theory on the Heisenberg group. It is also shown that when p = 1, the class of right multipliers for the Sobolev space W ^k,1(H ⁿ ) coincides with the dual space of the projective tensor product of two function spaces.

Weighted Sobolev L2 estimates for a class of Fourier integral operators

In this paper we develop elements of the global calculus of Fourier integral operators in ${{\mathbb R}^n}$ under minimal decay assumptions on phases and amplitudes. We also establish global weighted Sobolev L² estimates for a class of Fourier integral operators that appears in the analysis of global smoothing problems for dispersive partial differential equations. As an application, we exhibit a new type of weighted estimates for hyperbolic equations, where the decay of data in space is quantitatively translated into the time decay of solutions.     

Sobolev spaces associated to a polyhedron and Fourier integral operations inR n

The theory of the Sobolev spacesH _m ^p (R ⁿ ) (mR,p polyhedron in R ²ⁿ )of [BG]is revisited here in the frame of new classes of pseudodifferential operators related to the same polyhedron p.These operators generalize to corresponding classes of Fourier integral operators, for which we present the main lines of a symbolic calculus and results of continuity on the H _m ^p (R ⁿ ) spaces.

Substructuring and SVD-based model reduction

The direct applicability of SVD-based methods in model reduction of large LTI systems is very limited. As a remedy we present a reduction framework based on the combination of hierarchical substructuring and SVD-based methods. The substructuring approach is similar to the AMLS algorithm that has been successfully applied in very large eigenvalue computations. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Relative asymptotics and Fourier series of orthogonal polynomials with a discrete Sobolev inner product

Let μ be a finite positive Borel measure supported in [−1,1] and introduce the discrete Sobolev-type inner product

where the mass points a_k belong to [−1,1], M_k,i0, i=0,…,N_k−1, and M_k,Nk>0. In this paper, we study the asymptotics of the Sobolev orthogonal polynomials by comparison with the orthogonal polynomials with respect to the measure μ and we prove that they have the same asymptotic behaviour. We also study the pointwise convergence of the Fourier series associated to this inner product provided that μ is the Jacobi measure. We generalize the work done by F. Marcellán and W. Van Assche where they studied the asymptotics for only one mass point in [−1,1]. The same problem with a finite number of mass points off [−1,1] was solved by G. López, F. Marcellán and W. Van Assche in a more general setting: they consider the constants M_k,i to be complex numbers. As regards the Fourier series, we continue the results achieved by F. Marcellán, B. Osilenker and I.A. Rocha for the Jacobi measure and mass points in .     

Further spectral properties of the weighted finite Fourier transform operator and approximation in weighted Sobolev spaces

In this work, we first give some mathematical preliminaries concerning the generalized prolate spheroidal wave function (GPSWF). This set of special functions have been defined as the infinite and countable set of the eigenfunctions of a weighted finite Fourier transform operator. Then, we show that the set of the singular values of this operator has a super‐exponential decay rate. We also give some local estimates and bounds of these GPSWFs. As an application of the spectral properties of the GPSWFs and their associated eigenvalues, we give their quality of approximation in a weighted Sobolev space. Finally, we provide the reader with some numerical examples that illustrate the different results of this work.     

Signal moments for the short‐time Fourier transform associated with Hardy–Sobolev derivatives

The short‐time Fourier transform has been shown to be a powerful tool for non‐stationary signals and time‐varying systems. This paper investigates the signal moments in the Hardy–Sobolev space that do not usually have classical derivatives. That is, signal moments become valid for non‐smooth signals if we replace the classical derivatives by the Hardy–Sobolev derivatives. Our work is based on the extension of Cohen's contributions to the local and global behaviors of the signal. The relationship of the moments and spreads of the signal in the time, frequency and short‐time Fourier domain are established in the Hardy–Sobolev space.

Shape constrained smoothing using smoothing splines

Summary  In some regression settings one would like to combine the flexibility of nonparametric smoothing with some prior knowledge about the regression curve. Such prior knowledge may come from a physical or economic theory, leading to shape constraints such as the underlying regression curve being positive, monotone, convex or concave. We propose a new method for calculating smoothing splines that fulfill these kinds of constraints. Our approach leads to a quadratic programming problem and the infinite number of constraints are replaced by a finite number of constraints that are chosen adaptively. We show that the resulting problem can be solved using the algorithm of Goldfarb and Idnani (1982, 1983) and illustrate our method on several real data sets.

Holomorphic Sobolev spaces, Hermite and special Hermite semigroups and a Paley-Wiener theorem for the windowed Fourier transform

The images of Hermite and Laguerre-Sobolev spaces under the Hermite and special Hermite semigroups (respectively) are characterized. These are used to characterize the image of Schwartz class of rapidly decreasing functions f on Rn and Cn under these semigroups. The image of the space of tempered distributions is also considered and a Paley-Wiener theorem for the windowed (short-time) Fourier transform is proved.
