The observations in many applications consist of counts of discrete events, such as photons hitting a dector, which cannot be effectively modeled using an additive bounded or Gaussian noise model, and instead require a Poisson noise model.…

We present two modified versions of the primal-dual splitting algorithm relying on forward-backward splitting proposed in \cite{vu} for solving monotone inclusion problems. Under strong monotonicity assumptions for some of the operators…
