An Efficient Approach for Computing Optimal Low-Rank Regularized Inverse Matrices
Standard regularization methods that are used to compute solutions to
ill-posed inverse problems require knowledge of the forward model. In many
real-life applications, the forward model is not known, but training data is
readily available. In this paper, we develop a new framework that uses training
data, as a substitute for knowledge of the forward model, to compute an optimal
low-rank regularized inverse matrix directly, allowing for very fast
computation of a regularized solution. We consider a statistical framework
based on Bayes and empirical Bayes risk minimization to analyze theoretical
properties of the problem. We propose an efficient rank update approach for
computing an optimal low-rank regularized inverse matrix for various error
measures. Numerical experiments demonstrate the benefits and potential
applications of our approach to problems in signal and image processing.Comment: 24 pages, 11 figure
Implicit QR for Companion-like Pencils
A fast implicit QR algorithm for eigenvalue computation of low rank corrections of unitary matrices is adjusted to work with matrix pencils arising from polynomial zerofinding problems . The modified QZ algorithm computes the generalized eigenvalues of certain NxN rank structured matrix pencils using O(N^2) ops and O(N) memory storage. Numerical experiments and comparisons confirm the effectiveness and the stability of the proposed method
A distributed-memory package for dense Hierarchically Semi-Separable matrix computations using randomization
We present a distributed-memory library for computations with dense
structured matrices. A matrix is considered structured if its off-diagonal
blocks can be approximated by a rank-deficient matrix with low numerical rank.
Here, we use Hierarchically Semi-Separable representations (HSS). Such matrices
appear in many applications, e.g., finite element methods, boundary element
methods, etc. Exploiting this structure allows for fast solution of linear
systems and/or fast computation of matrix-vector products, which are the two
main building blocks of matrix computations. The compression algorithm that we
use, that computes the HSS form of an input dense matrix, relies on randomized
sampling with a novel adaptive sampling mechanism. We discuss the
parallelization of this algorithm and also present the parallelization of
structured matrix-vector product, structured factorization and solution
routines. The efficiency of the approach is demonstrated on large problems from
different academic and industrial applications, on up to 8,000 cores.
This work is part of a more global effort, the STRUMPACK (STRUctured Matrices
PACKage) software package for computations with sparse and dense structured
matrices. Hence, although useful on their own right, the routines also
represent a step in the direction of a distributed-memory sparse solver
Fast computation of the matrix exponential for a Toeplitz matrix
The computation of the matrix exponential is a ubiquitous operation in
numerical mathematics, and for a general, unstructured matrix it
can be computed in operations. An interesting problem arises
if the input matrix is a Toeplitz matrix, for example as the result of
discretizing integral equations with a time invariant kernel. In this case it
is not obvious how to take advantage of the Toeplitz structure, as the
exponential of a Toeplitz matrix is, in general, not a Toeplitz matrix itself.
The main contribution of this work are fast algorithms for the computation of
the Toeplitz matrix exponential. The algorithms have provable quadratic
complexity if the spectrum is real, or sectorial, or more generally, if the
imaginary parts of the rightmost eigenvalues do not vary too much. They may be
efficient even outside these spectral constraints. They are based on the
scaling and squaring framework, and their analysis connects classical results
from rational approximation theory to matrices of low displacement rank. As an
example, the developed methods are applied to Merton's jump-diffusion model for
