Data Analysis and Representation on a General Domain using Eigenfunctions of Laplacian
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a newmethod to analyze and represent data recorded on a domain of general shape in R by computing the eigenfunctions of Laplacian defined over there and expanding the data into these eigenfunctions. Instead of directly solving the eigenvalue problemon such a domain via theHelmholtz equation (which can be quite complicated and costly), we find the integral operator commuting with the Laplacian and diagonalize that operator. Although our eigenfunctions satisfy neither the Dirichlet nor the Neumann boundary condition, computing our eigenfunctions via the integral operator is simple and has a potential to utilize modern fast algorithms to accelerate the computation. We also show that our method is better suited for small sample data than the Karhunen-Loève Transform/Principal Component Analysis. In fact, our eigenfunctions depend only on the shape of the domain, not the statistics of the data. As a further application, we demonstrate the use of our Laplacian eigenfunctions for solving the heat equation on a complicated domain.

Deep Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Image Classification via Low Rank Representation Learning
Domain adaptation is a powerful technique given a wide amount of labeled data from similar attributes in different domains. In real-world applications, there is a huge number of data but almost more of them are unlabeled. It is effective in image classification where it is expensive and time-consuming to obtain adequate label data. We propose a novel method named DALRRL, which consists of deep ...
متن کاملMulti-Focus Image Fusion in DCT Domain using Variance and Energy of Laplacian and Correlation Coefficient for Visual Sensor Networks
The purpose of multi-focus image fusion is gathering the essential information and the focused parts from the input multi-focus images into a single image. These multi-focus images are captured with different depths of focus of cameras. A lot of multi-focus image fusion techniques have been introduced using considering the focus measurement in the spatial domain. However, the multi-focus image ...
متن کاملRegularized Principal Component Analysis ∗
Given a set of signals, a classical construction of an optimal truncatable basis for optimally representing the signals, is the principal component analysis (PCA for short) approach. When the information about the signals one would like to represent is a more general property, like smoothness, a different basis should be considered. One example is the Fourier basis which is optimal for represen...
متن کاملThe Cauchy Process and the Steklov Problem
Let Xt be a Cauchy process in R, d ≥ 1. We investigate some of the fine spectral theoretic properties of the semigroup of this process killed upon leaving a domain D. We establish a connection between the semigroup of this process and a mixed boundary value problem for the Laplacian in one dimension higher, known as the “Mixed Steklov Problem.” Using this we derive a variational characterizatio...
متن کاملOn the Numerical Solution of Some Semilinear Elliptic Problems
Abstract. We discuss a general framework for the numerical solution of a family of semilinear elliptic problems whose leading differential operator is the Laplacian. A problem is first transformed to one on a standard domain via a conformal mapping. The boundary value problem on the standard domain is then reduced to an equivalent integral operator equation. We employ the Galerkin method to sol...
