Heteroclinic orbits for a system of amplitude equations for orthogonal domain walls

Boris Buffoni

Using a variational method, we prove the existence of heteroclinic solutions for a 6-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations. We derive this system from the classical Benard-Rayleigh problem near the convective instability threshold. The cons ...

Dynamical Low Rank approximation of PDEs with random parameters

Eleonora Musharbash

In this work, we focus on the Dynamical Low Rank (DLR) approximation of PDEs equations with random parameters. This can be interpreted as a reduced basis method, where the approximate solution is expanded in separable form over a set of few deterministic b ...

Splines Are Universal Solutions of Linear Inverse Problems with Generalized TV Regularization

Michaël Unser, Julien René Fageot, John Paul Ward

Splines come in a variety of flavors that can be characterized in terms of some differential operator L. The simplest piecewise-constant model corresponds to the derivative operator. Likewise, one can extend the traditional notion of total variation by con ...

Multi-index Monte Carlo: when sparsity meets sampling

Fabio Nobile

We propose and analyze a novel Multi Index Monte Carlo (MIMC) method for weak approximation of stochastic models that are described in terms of differential equations either driven by random measures or with random coefficients. The MIMC method is both a s ...

Characterization of the Solution of Linear Inverse Problems with Generalized TV Regularization

Michaël Unser

Ill-posed inverse problems are often constrained by imposing a bound on the total variation of the solution. Here, we consider a generalized version of total-variation regularization that is tied to some differential operator L. We then show that the gener ...

A Signal Processing Approach to Generalized 1-D Total Variation

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Fikret Isik Karahanoglu

Total variation (TV) is a powerful method that brings great benefit for edge-preserving regularization. Despite being widely employed in image processing, it has restricted applicability for 1-D signal processing since piecewise-constant signals form a rat ...
