Sparsity is one of the key concepts that allows the recovery of signals that are subsampled at a rate significantly lower than required by the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem. Our proposed framework uses arbitrary multiscale transforms,…
We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by generalizing three components of BFGS to subdifferentials: the…
We consider the problem of reconstructing an unknown bounded function $u$ defined on a domain $X\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ from noiseless or noisy samples of $u$ at $n$ points $(x^i)_{i=1,\dots,n}$. We measure the reconstruction error in a norm…

Submodular functions are a broad class of set functions, which naturally arise in diverse areas. Many algorithms have been suggested for the maximization of these functions. Unfortunately, once the function deviates from submodularity, the…
