This paper concerns iterative reconstruction for low-dose and few-view CT by minimizing a data-fidelity term regularized with the Total Variation (TV) penalty. We propose a very fast iterative algorithm to solve this problem. The algorithm…

Total variation regularization has proven to be a valuable tool in the context of optimal control of differential equations. This is particularly attributed to the observation that TV-penalties often favor piecewise constant minimizers with…

In this work we consider a generalized bilevel optimization framework for solving inverse problems. We introduce fractional Laplacian as a regularizer to improve the reconstruction quality, and compare it with the total variation…

Convolutional neural network is an important model in deep learning. To avoid exploding/vanishing gradient problems and to improve the generalizability of a neural network, it is desirable to have a convolution operation that nearly…

We study fine potential theory and in particular partitions of unity in quasiopen sets in the case $p=1$. Using these, we develop an analog of the discrete convolution technique in quasiopen (instead of open) sets. We apply this technique…

Regularization in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is usually addressed with dropout layers. However, dropout is sometimes detrimental in the convolutional part of a CNN as it simply sets to zero a percentage of pixels in the feature…

Let $u \in \mbox{BV}(\Omega)$ solve the total variation denoising problem with $L^2$-squared fidelity and data $f$. Caselles et al. [Multiscale Model. Simul. 6 (2008), 879--894] have shown the containment $\mathcal{H}^{m-1}(J_u \setminus…

Image restoration requires a careful balance between noise suppression and structure preservation. While first-order total variation (TV) regularization effectively preserves edges, it often introduces staircase artifacts, whereas…

We propose to learn non-convex regularizers with a prescribed upper bound on their weak-convexity modulus. Such regularizers give rise to variational denoisers that minimize a convex energy. They rely on few parameters (less than 15,000)…

We discuss when law-invariant convex functionals "collapse to the mean". More precisely, we show that, in a large class of spaces of random variables and under mild semicontinuity assumptions, the expectation functional is, up to an affine…
