In this work we argue that it is important to make a proper choice of the unit cell within tight-binding theory if one aims to compute the optical matrix elements. By considering zigzag graphene nanoribbons, we demonstrate that the band…
Sparse coding is a proven principle for learning compact representations of images. However, sparse coding by itself often leads to very redundant dictionaries. With images, this often takes the form of similar edge detectors which are…

Let $g$ be a totally positive function of finite type. Then the Gabor set $\{e^{2\pi i \beta l t} g(t-\alpha k), k,l \in Z \}$ is a frame for $L^2(R)$, if and only if $\alpha \beta <1$. This result is a first positive contribution to a…
