Abstract. We consider alternative scale space representations beyond the well-established Gaussian case that satisfy all "reasonable" axioms. One of these turns out to be subject to a first order pseudo partial differential equation equivalent to the Laplace equation on the upper half planeWe investigate this so-called Poisson scale space and show that it is indeed a viable alternative to Gaussian scale space. Poisson and Gaussian scale space are related via a one-parameter class of operationally well-defined intermediate representations generated by a fractional power of (minus) the spatial Laplace operator.
The singular value decomposition is among the most important algebraic tools for solving many approximation problems in model reduction, data compression, system identification and signal processing. Nevertheless, there is no straightforward generalization of the algebraic concept of singular values and singular value decompositions to multilinear functions. Motivated by the problem of finding lower rank approximations of tensors, this paper introduces a notion of singular values for arbitrary multi-linear mappings. An upperbound is derived on the error between a tensor and its optimal lower rank approximation and a conceptual algorithm is proposed to compute singular value decompositions of tensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
