Positron Emission Tomography (PET) aims at recovering the metabolic activity of an organ of interest. Established algorithms implemented in contemporary PET scans are based on an approximation of the inverse Radon transform, resulting in a suboptimal estim ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : Bounds for the decay of the entries in inverses and Cauchy- Stieltjes functions of sparse, normal matrices

Marcel Schweitzer

It is known that in many functions of banded, and more generally, sparse Hermitian positive definite matrices, the entries exhibit a rapid decay away from the sparsity pattern. This is in particular true for the inverse, and based on results for the invers ...

On infinite dimensional linear programming approach to stochastic control * *This research is partially supported by M. Kamgarpour’s European Union ERC Starting Grant, CONENE and by T. Summers’ the US National Science Foundation under grant CNS-1566127.

We consider the infinite dimensional linear programming (inf-LP) approach for solving stochastic control problems. The inf-LP corresponding to problems with uncountable state and input spaces is in general computationally intractable. By focusing on linear ...

Ad Hoc Microphone Array Calibration: Euclidean Distance Matrix Completion Algorithm and Theoretical Guarantees

Hervé Bourlard, Philip Neil Garner, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Reza Parhizkar

This paper addresses the problem of ad hoc microphone array calibration where only partial information about the distances between the microphones is available. We construct a matrix consisting of the pairwise distances and propose to estimate the missing ...

Euclidean Distance Matrices: Essential Theory, Algorithms and Applications

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Juri Ranieri, Reza Parhizkar

Euclidean distance matrices (EDMs) are matrices of the squared distances between points. The definition is deceivingly simple; thanks to their many useful properties, they have found applications in psychometrics, crystallography, machine learning, wireles ...

Evaluating functions of positive-definite matrices using colored-noise thermostats

Michele Ceriotti, Michele Parrinello

Many applications in computational science require computing the elements of a function of a large matrix. A commonly used approach is based on the the evaluation of the eigenvalue decomposition, a task that, in general, involves a computing time that scal ...

In this paper, we study the problem of approximately computing the product of two real matrices. In particular, we analyze a dimensionality-reduction-based approximation algorithm due to Sarlos [1], introducing the notion of nuclear rank as the ratio of th ...

While the question of the specification of spatial weight matrix is now largely discussed in the spatial econometrics literature, the definition of distance has attracted less attention. The choice of the distance measure is often glossed over, with the ul ...

Bivariate Matrix Functions

Daniel Kressner

A definition of bivariate matrix functions is introduced and some theoretical as well as algorithmic aspects are analyzed. It is shown that our framework naturally extends the usual notion of (univariate) matrix functions and allows to unify existing resul ...
