Convergence of operators acting on a given Hilbert space is an old and well studied topic in operator theory. The idea of introducing a related notion for operators acting on arying spaces is natural. However, it seems that the first…
A natural connection between rational functions of several real or complex variables, and subspace collections is explored. A new class of function, superfunctions, are introduced which are the counterpart to functions at the level of…
This article is concerned with a geometric tool given by a pair of projector operators defined by almost product structures on finite dimensional manifolds, polarized by a distribution of constant rank and also endowed with some geometric…
We consider the problem of minimizing the composition of a nonsmooth function with a smooth mapping in the case where the proximity operator of the nonsmooth function can be explicitly computed. We first show that this proximity operator…
This paper characterizes the proximal operator of the piece-wise exponential function $1\!-\!e^{-|x|/\sigma}$ with a given shape parameter $\sigma\!>\!0$, which is a popular nonconvex surrogate of $\ell_0$-norm in support vector machines,…
In this paper we present a systematic study of regular sequences of quasi-nonexpansive operators in Hilbert space. We are interested, in particular, in weakly, boundedly and linearly regular sequences of operators. We show that the type of…
In this paper we introduce and study a class of structured set-valued operators which we call union averaged nonexpansive. At each point in their domain, the value of such an operator can be expressed as a finite union of single-valued…
Reversibility is a key issue in the interface between computation and physics, and of growing importance as miniaturization progresses towards its physical limits. Most foundational work on reversible computing to date has focussed on…
We propose a new reconstruction operator that aims to recover the missing parts of a function given the observed parts. This new operator belongs to a new, very large class of functional operators which includes the classical regression…
We consider existence and uniqueness of symmetric approximation of frames by normalized tight frames and of symmetric orthogonalization of bases by orthonormal bases in Hilbert spaces H . More precisely, we determine whether a given frame…
Functions with uniform level sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used, e.g., in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…
The aim of this work is to define a continuous functional calculus in quaternionic Hilbert spaces, starting from basic issues regarding the notion of spherical spectrum of a normal operator. As properties of the spherical spectrum suggest,…
The motivation behind this paper is threefold. Firstly, to study, characterize and realize operator concavity along with its applications to operator monotonicity of free functions on operator domains that are not assumed to be matrix…
multiplication operator on a Hilbert space may be approximated with finite sections by choosing an orthonormal basis of the Hilbert space. Nonzero multiplication operators on $L^2$ spaces of functions are never compact and then such…
Quasidiagonal operators on a Hilbert space are a large and important class (containing all self-adjoint operators for instance). They are also perfectly suited for study via the finite section method (a particular Galerkin method). Indeed,…
This paper is devoted to an approximation problem for operators in Hilbert space, that appears when one tries to study geometrically the cascade algorithm in wavelet theory. Let $ H $ be a Hilbert space, and let $ \pi $ be a representation…
In this position paper we suggest a possible metric approach to shape comparison that is based on a mathematical formalization of the concept of observer, seen as a collection of suitable operators acting on a metric space of functions.…
Submodularity is a fundamental phenomenon in combinatorial optimization. Submodular functions occur in a variety of combinatorial settings such as coverage problems, cut problems, welfare maximization, and many more. Therefore, a lot of…
In this paper we introduce two conceptual algorithms for minimising abstract convex functions. Both algorithms rely on solving a proximal-type subproblem with an abstract Bregman distance based proximal term. We prove their convergence when…
An arbitrary linear relation (multivalued operator) acting from one Hilbert space to another Hilbert space is shown to be the sum of a closable operator and a singular relation whose closure is the Cartesian product of closed subspaces.…
