Cholesky decomposition

In linear algebra, the Cholesky decomposition or Cholesky factorization (pronounced ʃəˈlɛski ) is a decomposition of a Hermitian, positive-definite matrix into the product of a lower triangular matrix and its conjugate transpose, which is useful for efficient numerical solutions, e.g., Monte Carlo simulations. It was discovered by André-Louis Cholesky for real matrices, and posthumously published in 1924. When it is applicable, the Cholesky decomposition is roughly twice as efficient as the LU decomposition for solving systems of linear equations. Statement The Cholesky decomposition of a Hermitian positive-definite matrix A, is a decomposition of the form : \mathbf{A} = \mathbf{L L}^*, where L is a lower triangular matrix with real and positive diagonal entries, and L* denotes the conjugate transpose of L. Every Hermitian positive-definite matrix (and thus also every real-valued symmetric positive-definite matrix) has a unique Cholesky decomposition. The c

Deep Compositional Denoising for High-quality Monte Carlo Rendering

Marios Papas, Thijs Vogels, Xianyao Zhang

We propose a deep-learning method for automatically decomposing noisy Monte Carlo renderings into components that kernelpredicting denoisers can denoise more effectively. In our model, a neural decomposition module learns to predict noisy components and corresponding feature maps, which are consecutively reconstructed by a denoising module. The components are predicted based on statistics aggregated at the pixel level by the renderer. Denoising these components individually allows the use of per-component kernels that adapt to each component's noisy signal characteristics. Experimentally, we show that the proposed decomposition module consistently improves the denoising quality of current state-of-the-art kernel-predicting denoisers on large-scale academic and production datasets.

Frequency domain theory for functional time series: Variance decomposition and an invariance principle

Neda Mohammadi Jouzdani

This paper is concerned with frequency domain theory for functional time series, which are temporally dependent sequences of functions in a Hilbert space. We consider a variance decomposition, which is more suitable for such a data structure than the variance decomposition based on the Karhunen-Loeve expansion. The decomposition we study uses eigenvalues of spectral density operators, which are functional analogs of the spectral density of a stationary scalar time series. We propose estimators of the variance components and derive convergence rates for their mean square error as well as their asymptotic normality. The latter is derived from a frequency domain invariance principle for the estimators of the spectral density operators. This principle is established for a broad class of linear time series models. It is a main contribution of the paper.

De la commande du client à la gestion en temps réel: le long chemin vers les systèmes de production intégrés.

Dans un précédent article (voir OUTPUT no 12, décembre 87), les concepts fondamentaux des ateliers flexibles ont été definis et une description des problèmes spécifiques surgissant lors de la mise en route et la conduite de ces systèmes a été présentée. Les liens qui existent entre les diverses catégories de problèmes (planification, ordonnancement, gestion en temp réel) font l'objet de cet article. De plus, une manière simple d'aborder ces problèmes y est proposée. Cependant, vu que chaque entreprise a des caractéristiques bien particulières, une méthode unique de résolution n'est pas envisageable. Une approche flexible tenant compte de cet aspect du problème esr également développée dans cet article.
