In this paper, we provide a simple framework to derive and analyse several classes of effective onestep methods. The framework consists in the discretization of a local Fourier expansion of the continuous problem. Different choices of the basis lead to different classes of methods, even though we shall here consider only the case of an orthonormal polynomial basis, from which a large subclass o...

where each θj is supported only on Ω ⊂ {1, 2, . . . , N}, with |Ω| = K. The matrix Ψ is orthonormal, with dimension N × N (we consider only signals sparse in an orthonormal basis). We denote by Φj the measurement matrix for signal j, where Φj is of dimension M ×N , where M < N . We let yj = Φjxj = ΦjΨθj be the observations of signal j. We assume that the measurement matrix Φj is random with i.i...

We propose a constructive method to find compactly supported orthonormal wavelets for any given compactly supported scaling function φ in the multivariate setting. For simplicity, we start with a standard dilation matrix 2I2×2 in the bivariate setting and show how to construct compactly supported functions ψ1, · · · , ψn with n > 3 such that {2ψj(2x − `, 2ky − m), k, `,m ∈ Z, j = 1, . . . , n} ...

We describe extensions to the \best-basis" method to select orthonormal bases suitable for signal classiica-tion and regression problems from a large collection of orthonormal bases. For classiication problems, we select the basis which maximizes relative entropy of time-frequency energy distributions among classes. For regression problems, we select the basis which tries to minimize the regres...

In a previous paper, one of us pointed out that the anomalous dimension matrices for all physical processes that have been calculated to date are complex symmetric, if stated in an orthonormal basis. In this paper we prove this fact and show that it is only true in a subset of all possible orthonormal bases, but that this subset is the natural one to use for physical calculations.

This paper explores the segmentation of tutorial dialogue into cohesive topics. A latent semantic space was created using conversations from human to human tutoring transcripts, allowing cohesion between utterances to be measured using vector similarity. Previous cohesionbased segmentation methods that focus on expository monologue are reapplied to these dialogues to create benchmarks for perfo...

Abstract. In order to get an efficient representation of images which contain orientated edges we construct a directional wavelet basis for L(R). The wavelets basis consists of Haar wavelets with compact support on triangles. In comparison with the classical wavelet transform our functions offer two more directions (diagonal directions). Applying our simple wavelet system to image denoising and...
