  • Characterization of Generalized Gradient Young Measures Generated by Sequences in W^1,1 and BV
    Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2010
    Co-Authors: Jan Kristensen, Filip Rindler
    Abstract:

    Generalized Young measures as introduced by DiPerna and Majda (Commun Math Phys 108:667–689, 1987) provide a quantitative tool for studying the one-point statistics of oscillation and concentration in sequences of functions. In this work, after developing a functional-analytic framework for such measures, including a compactness theorem and results on the generation of such Young measures by L^1-Bounded sequences (or even by sequences of Bounded Radon measures), we turn to investigation of those Young measures that are generated by Bounded sequences of W^1,1-gradients or BV-derivatives. We provide several techniques to manipulate such measures (including shifting, averaging and approximation by piecewise-homogeneous Young measures) and then establish the main new result of this work, the duality characterization of the set of (BV- or W^1,1-)gradient Young measures in terms of Jensen-type inequalities for quasiconvex functions with linear growth at infinity. This result is the natural generalization of the Kinderlehrer–Pedregal Theorem (Arch Ration Mech Anal 115:329–365, 1991; J Geom Anal 4:59–90, 1994) for classical Young measures to the W^1,1- and BV-case and contains its version for weakly converging sequences in W^1,1 as a special case. Finally, we give an application to a new lower semicontinuity theorem in BV.

  • Super-resolution by means of Beurling minimal extrapolation
    Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis, 2020
    Co-Authors: John J. Benedetto
    Abstract:

    Abstract We investigate the super-resolution capabilities of total variation minimization. Namely, given a finite set Λ ⊆ Z d and spectral data F = μ ˆ | Λ , where μ is an unknown Bounded Radon measure on the torus T d , the problem is to find the measures with smallest norm whose Fourier transforms agree with F on Λ. Our main theorem shows that solutions to the problem depend crucially on a set Γ ⊆ Λ , defined in terms of F and Λ. For example, when # Γ = 0 , the solutions are singular measures supported in the zero set of an analytic function, and when # Γ ≥ 2 , the solutions are singular measures supported in the intersection of ( # Γ 2 ) hyperplanes. By theory and example, we show that the case # Γ = 1 is different from other cases, and is deeply connected with the existence of positive solutions. This theorem has implications to the possibility and impossibility of uniquely recovering μ from F on Λ. We illustrate how to apply our theory to both directions, by computing pertinent analytical examples. These examples are of interest in both super-resolution and deterministic compressed sensing. Our concept of an admissibility range fundamentally connects Beurling's theory of minimal extrapolation [7] , [8] with Candes and Fernandez-Granda's work on super-resolution [12] . This connection is exploited to address situations where current algorithms fail to compute a numerical solution to the total variation minimization problem.

  • Super-resolution by means of Beurling minimal extrapolation
    arXiv: Functional Analysis, 2016
    Co-Authors: John J. Benedetto
    Abstract:

    Let $M(\mathbb{T}^d)$ be the space of complex Bounded Radon measures defined on the $d$-dimensional torus group $(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})^d=\mathbb{T}^d$, equipped with the total variation norm $\|\cdot\|$; and let $\hat\mu$ denote the Fourier transform of $\mu\in M(\mathbb{T}^d)$. We address the super-resolution problem: For given spectral (Fourier transform) data defined on a finite set $\Lambda\subset\mathbb{Z}^d$, determine if there is a unique $\mu\in M(\mathbb{T}^d)$ of minimal norm for which $\hat\mu$ equals this data on $\Lambda$. Without additional assumptions on $\mu$ and $\Lambda$, our main theorem shows that the solutions to the super-resolution problem, which we call minimal extrapolations, depend crucially on the set $\Gamma\subset\Lambda$, defined in terms of $\mu$ and $\Lambda$. For example, when $\Gamma=0$, the minimal extrapolations are singular measures supported in the zero set of an analytic function, and when $\Gamma\geq 2$, the minimal extrapolations are singular measures supported in the intersection of $\Gamma\choose 2$ hyperplanes. By theory and example, we show that the case $\Gamma=1$ is different from other cases and is deeply connected with the existence of positive minimal extrapolations. This theorem has implications to the possibility and impossibility of uniquely recovering $\mu$ from $\Lambda$. We illustrate how to apply our theory to both directions, by computing pertinent analytical examples. These examples are of interest in both super-resolution and deterministic compressed sensing. Our concept of an admissibility range fundamentally connects Beurling's theory of minimal extrapolation with Candes and Fernandez-Granda's work on super-resolution. This connection is exploited to address situations where current algorithms fail to compute a numerical solution to the super-resolution problem.

  • A semilinear singular Sturm–Liouville equation involving measure data
    Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincaré C Analyse non linéaire, 2016
    Co-Authors: Hui Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Given α > 0 and p > 1 , let μ be a Bounded Radon measure on the interval ( − 1 , 1 ) . We are interested in the equation − ( | x | 2 α u ′ ) ′ + | u | p − 1 u = μ on ( − 1 , 1 ) with boundary condition u ( − 1 ) = u ( 1 ) = 0 . We establish some existence and uniqueness results. We examine the limiting behavior of three approximation schemes. The isolated singularity at 0 is also investigated.

  • ON A HARDY TYPE INEQUALITY AND A SINGULAR STURM-LIOUVILLE EQUATION
    2014
    Co-Authors: Hui Wang
    Abstract:

    OF THE DISSERTATION On a Hardy type inequality and a singular Sturm-Liouville equation by Hui Wang Dissertation Director: Haim Brezis In this dissertation, we first prove a Hardy type inequality for u ∈ W 0 (Ω), where Ω is a Bounded smooth domain in RN and m ≥ 2. For all j ≥ 0, 1 ≤ k ≤ m − 1, such that 1 ≤ j + k ≤ m, it holds that ∂ ju(x) d(x)m−j−k ∈ W k,1 0 (Ω), where d is a smooth positive function which coincides with dist(x, ∂Ω) near ∂Ω, and ∂l denotes any partial differential operator of order l. We also study a singular Sturm-Liouville equation −(x2αu′)′ + u = f on (0, 1), with the boundary condition u(1) = 0. Here α > 0 and f ∈ L2(0, 1). We prescribe appropriate (weighted) homogeneous and non-homogeneous boundary conditions at 0 and prove the existence and uniqueness of H2 loc(0, 1] solutions. We study the regularity at the origin of such solutions. We perform a spectral analysis of the differential operator Lu := −(x2αu′)′ + u under homogeneous boundary conditions. Finally, we are interested in the equation −(|x|2αu′)′ + |u|p−1u = μ on (−1, 1) with boundary condition u(−1) = u(1) = 0. Here α > 0, p ≥ 1 and μ is a Bounded Radon measure on the interval (−1, 1). We identify an appropriate concept of solution for this equation, and we establish some existence and uniqueness results. We examine the limiting behavior of three approximation schemes. The isolated singularity at 0 is also investigated.

  • A SINGULAR STURM–LIOUVILLE EQUATION INVOLVING MEASURE DATA
    Communications in Contemporary Mathematics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Hui Wang
    Abstract:

    Let α > 0 and let μ be a Bounded Radon measure on the interval (-1, 1). We are interested in the equation -(|x|2αu′)′ + u = μ on (-1, 1) with boundary condition u(-1) = u(1) = 0. We identify an appropriate concept of solution for this equation, and we establish some existence and uniqueness results. The cases 0 < α < 1 and α ≥ 1 must be considered separately. We also study the limiting behavior of two different approximation schemes: one is the elliptic regularization and the other is to approximate a measure μ by a sequence of L∞-functions.
