We study the theoretical properties of image denoising via total variation penalized least-squares. We define the total vatiation in terms of the two-dimensional total discrete derivative of the image and show that it gives rise to denoised…
Single-level reformulations of (non-convex) distributionally robust optimization (DRO) problems are often intractable, as they contain semiinfinite dual constraints. Based on such a semiinfinite reformulation, we present a safe…
Manifold-valued signal- and image processing has received attention due to modern image acquisition techniques. Recently, a convex relaxation of the otherwise nonconvex Tikhonov-regularization for denoising circle-valued data has been…
Variational methods have become an important kind of methods in signal and image restoration - a typical inverse problem. One important minimization model consists of the squared $\ell_2$ data fidelity (corresponding to Gaussian noise) and…

We consider total variation minimization for manifold valued data. We propose a cyclic proximal point algorithm and a parallel proximal point algorithm to minimize TV functionals with $\ell^p$-type data terms in the manifold case. These…

In this paper, we introduce a method known as polynomial frame approximation for approximating smooth, multivariate functions defined on irregular domains in $d$ dimensions, where $d$ can be arbitrary. This method is simple, and relies only…
The paper applies the theory developed in Part I to the discrete normal approximation in total variation of random vectors in ${\mathbb Z}^d$. We illustrate the use of the method for sums of independent integer valued random vectors, and…
We consider the inverse problem of recovering a continuous-domain function from a finite number of noisy linear measurements. The unknown signal is modeled as the sum of a slowly varying trend and a periodic or quasi-periodic seasonal…
We provide a simple abstract formalism of integration by parts under which we obtain some regularization lemmas. These lemmas apply to any sequence of random variables $(F_n)$ which are smooth and non-degenerated in some sense and enable…
We study a general class of infimal convolution type regularisation functionals suitable for applications in image processing. These functionals incorporate a combination of the total variation ($\mathrm{TV}$) seminorm and $\mathrm{L}^{p}$…
In this work we introduce a formulation for a non-local Hessian that combines the ideas of higher-order and non-local regularization for image restoration, extending the idea of non-local gradients to higher-order derivatives. By carefully…
Parameter identification problems typically consist of a model equation, e.g. a (system of) ordinary or partial differential equation(s), and the observation equation. In the conventional reduced setting, the model equation is eliminated…
We propose a novel discrete concept for the total generalized variation (TGV), which has originally been derived to reduce the staircasing effect in classical total variation (TV) regularization, in image denoising problems. We describe…
Over the last decades, the total variation (TV) evolved to one of the most broadly-used regularisation functionals for inverse problems, in particular for imaging applications. When first introduced as a regulariser, higher-order…
In this paper we develop a new approach to the design of direct numerical methods for multidimensional problems of the calculus of variations. The approach is based on a transformation of the problem with the use of a new class of…
We establish a novel numerical and analytical framework for solving the Korteweg--de Vries (KdV) equation in the negative Sobolev spaces, where classical numerical methods fail due to their reliance on high regularity and inability to…
This survey synthesizes the current state of the art on the regularity theory for solutions to the optimal partition problem. Namely, we consider non-negative, vector-valued Sobolev functions whose components have mutually disjoint support,…
