The problem of finding a zero of the sum of two maximally monotone operators is of central importance in optimization. One successful method to find such a zero is the Douglas-Rachford algorithm which iterates a firmly nonexpansive operator…
We study how to extend the use of the diffusion model to answer the causal question from the observational data under the existence of unmeasured confounders. In Pearl's framework of using a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to capture the…
Random non-commutative geometries are introduced by integrating over the space of Dirac operators that form a spectral triple with a fixed algebra and Hilbert space. The cases with the simplest types of Clifford algebra are investigated…
The Douglas-Rachford algorithm is a simple yet effective method for solving convex feasibility problems. However, if the underlying constraints are inconsistent, then the convergence theory is incomplete. We provide convergence results when…
Proximal splitting algorithms for monotone inclusions (and convex optimization problems) in Hilbert spaces share the common feature to guarantee for the generated sequences in general weak convergence to a solution. In order to achieve…
In this work, we develop a convergence framework for iterative algorithms whose updates can be described by a one-parameter family of nonexpansive operators. Within the framework, each step involving one of the main algorithmic operators is…
The nonlinear, or warped, resolvent recently explored by Giselsson and B\`ui-Combettes has been used to model a large set of existing and new monotone inclusion algorithms. To establish convergent algorithms based on these resolvents,…
For a given target density, there exist an infinite number of diffusion processes which are ergodic with respect to this density. As observed in a number of papers, samplers based on nonreversible diffusion processes can significantly…
Diffusion model-based inverse problem solvers have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in cases where the forward operator is known (i.e. non-blind). However, the applicability of the method to blind inverse problems has yet to be…
The Douglas-Rachford reflection method is a general purpose algorithm useful for solving the feasibility problem of finding a point in the intersection of finitely many sets. In this chapter we demonstrate that applied to a specific…
We examine convergence properties of continuous-time variants of accelerated Forward-Backward (FB) and Douglas-Rachford (DR) splitting algorithms for nonsmooth composite optimization problems. When the objective function is given by the sum…
We construct inducing schemes for general multi-dimensional piecewise expanding maps where the base transformation is Gibbs-Markov and the return times have exponential tails. Such structures are a crucial tool in proving statistical…
The problem of finding a vector with the fewest nonzero elements that satisfies an underdetermined system of linear equations is an NP-complete problem that is typically solved numerically via convex heuristics or nicely-behaved nonconvex…
In this paper we study new algorithmic structures with Douglas- Rachford (DR) operators to solve convex feasibility problems. We propose to embed the basic two-set-DR algorithmic operator into the String-Averaging Projections (SAP) and into…
In this paper, we study a parameterized Douglas-Rachford splitting method for a class of nonconvex optimization problem. A new merit function is constructed to establish the convergence of the whole sequence generated by the parameterized…
The Douglas-Rachford algorithm is a very popular splitting technique for finding a zero of the sum of two maximally monotone operators. However, the behaviour of the algorithm remains mysterious in the general inconsistent case, i.e., when…
We focus on the convergence analysis of averaged relaxations of cutters, specifically for variants that---depending upon how parameters are chosen---resemble \emph{alternating projections}, the \emph{Douglas--Rachford method}, \emph{relaxed…
In this paper, we consider a class of structured nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems whose objective function is the sum of three nonconvex functions, one of which is expressed in a difference-of-convex (DC) form. This problem class…
Centered weighted composition operators on $L^2$-spaces are characterized. The characterization is obtained without the assumption that the operator is a product of a multiplication and a composition operator. The concept of spectrally…
In this investigation we focus on the problem of mapping the ground reflectivity with multiple laser scanners mounted on mobile robots/vehicles. The problem originates because regions of the ground become populated with a varying number of…
