The finite steps of convergence of the fast thresholding algorithms with f-feedbacks in compressed sensing

Numerical Algorithms - Iterative algorithms based on thresholding, feedback, and null space tuning (NST+HT+FB) for sparse signal recovery are exceedingly effective and efficient, particularly for...     

Fast projection onto the ordered weighted ℓ1 norm ball

In this paper,we provide a finitely terminated yet efficient approach to compute the Euclidean projection onto the ordered weighted?₁(OWL1)norm ball.In particular,an efficient semismooth Newton method is proposed for solving the dual of a reformulation of the original projection problem.Global and local quadratic convergence results,as well as the finite termination property,of the algorithm are proved.Numerical comparisons with the two best-known methods demonstrate the efficiency of our method.In addition,we derive the generalized Jacobian of the studied projector which,we believe,is crucial for the future designing of fast second-order nonsmooth methods for solving general OWL1 norm constrained problems.     

Semicontinuity of multiple integrals onW k,p (Ω, ℜ m )(k≥1)

This paper shows thatW ^1,p -quasiconvexity is a necessary and sufficient condition of swlsc (sw*lsc) for multiple integrals with a Caratheodory function as the variational function, bounded by

Observation of isomeric states in197Bi

The high spin states of¹¹⁹Te, populated in¹¹⁰Pd(¹³C,4n) and¹¹⁰Pd(¹²C,3n) reactions, have been studied through -ray spectroscopy. The level scheme has been established upto a spin of 55/2. Three-quasiparticle states, based on g² _7/2h_11/2 and g_7/2d_5/2h_11/2 configurations, have been identified. The 35/2 and 39/2 states are suggested to be the fully aligned states constituted by five valence h_11/2 ³, g_7/2, d_5/2 quasiparticles.
