Compressive identification of linear operators
Time: 16:15-17:15 / Place: HG E 1.2
Invited by: Ph. Grohs

Abstract:

We consider the problem of identifying a linear deterministic operator from an input-output measurement. For the large class of continuous (and hence bounded) operators, under additional mild restrictions, we show that stable identifiability is possible if the total support area of the operator's spreading function satisfies Δ ≤ ½. This result holds for arbitrary (possibly fragmented) support regions of the spreading function, does not impose limitations on the total extent of the support region, and, most importantly, does not require the support region of the spreading function to be known prior to identification. Furthermore, we prove that asking for identifiability of only almost all operators, stable identifiability is possible if Δ ≤ 1. This result is surprising as it says that there is no penalty for not knowing the support region of the spreading function prior to identification.

To receive announcements of future SAM kolloquia, send an email request to kolloqium-request@sam.math.ethz.ch to ask to be added to the email list. The announcements are also forwarded to the ETH Numerical Analysis list (naeth@inf.ethz.ch), so if you are on that you do not need to be listed here. The latest posting is made available on this web server (see link above).
