In this paper we study the fusion frame potential, that is a generalization of the Benedetto-Fickus (vectorial) frame potential to the finite-dimensional fusion frame setting. The structure of local and global minimizers of this potential…
With the aid of utilising tensor products, we give a simplified proof to the fundamental theorem of Benedetto and Fickus about the existence and characterisation of finite, normalised tight frames. We also establish unit-norm tensor…
The classical frame potential in a finite dimensional Hilbert space has been introduced by Benedetto and Fickus, who showed that all finite unit-norm tight frames can be characterized as the minimizers of this energy functional. This was…
We present results about minimization of convex functionals defined over a finite set of vectors in a finite dimensional Hilbert space, that extend several known results for the Benedetto-Fickus frame potential. Our approach depends on…
Let $\mathcal F_0=\{f_i\}_{i\in\mathbb{I}_{n_0}}$ be a finite sequence of vectors in $\mathbb C^d$ and let $\mathbf{a}=(a_i)_{i\in\mathbb{I}_k}$ be a finite sequence of positive numbers. We consider the completions of $\cal F_0$ of the form…
Finite frames, or spanning sets for finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, are a ubiquitous tool in signal processing. There has been much recent work on understanding the global structure of collections of finite frames with prescribed…
Optimization of frame structures is formulated as a~non-convex optimization problem, which is currently solved to local optimality. In this contribution, we investigate four optimization approaches: (i) general non-linear optimization, (ii)…
A Parseval frame is a spanning set for a Hilbert space which satisfies the Parseval identity: a vector can be expressed as a linear combination of the frame whose coefficients are inner products with the frame vectors. There is considerable…
Given a finite sequence of vectors $\mathcal F_0$ in $\C^d$ we describe the spectral and geometrical structure of optimal completions of $\mathcal F_0$ obtained by adding a finite sequence of vectors with prescribed norms, where optimality…
This paper propose a new frame work for finding global minima which we call optimization by cut. In each iteration, it takes some samples from the feasible region and evaluates the objective function at these points. Based on the…
We introduce an extension of the convex potentials for finite frames (e.g. the frame potential defined by Benedetto and Fickus) in the framework of Bessel sequences of integer translates of finite sequences in $L^2(\R^k)$. We show that…
We study the minimizers of the fusion frame potential in the case that both the weights and the dimensions of the subspaces are fixed and not necessarily equal. Using a concept of irregularity we provide a description of the local (that are…
In this paper we consider two problems in frame theory. On the one hand, given a set of vectors $\mathcal F$ we describe the spectral and geometrical structure of optimal completions of $\mathcal F$ by a finite family of vectors with…
We have an $\m\x\n$ real-valued arbitrary matrix $A$ (e.g. a dictionary) with $\m<\n$ and data $d$ describing the sought-after object with the help of $A$. This work provides an in-depth analysis of the (local and global) minimizers of an…
We consider a problem in quantum theory that can be formulated as an optimisation problem and present a global optimisation algorithm for solving it, the foundation of which relies in turn on a theorem from quantum theory. To wit, we…
Lidskii's additive inequalities (both for eigenvalues and singular values) can be interpreted as an explicit description of global minimizers of functions that are built on unitarily invariant norms, with domains consisting of certain…
We introduce the $q$-potential as an extension of the Benedetto-Fickus frame potential, defined on general reconstruction systems and we show that protocols are the minimizers of this potential under certain restrictions. We extend recent…
When searching for global optima of nonconvex unconstrained optimization problems, it is desirable that every local minimum be a global minimum. This property of having no spurious local minima is true in various problems of interest…
We study the set of continuous functions that admit no spurious local optima (i.e. local minima that are not global minima) which we term \textit{global functions}. They satisfy various powerful properties for analyzing nonconvex and…
Non-convex optimization is ubiquitous in modern machine learning. Researchers devise non-convex objective functions and optimize them using off-the-shelf optimizers such as stochastic gradient descent and its variants, which leverage the…
