Recover sparse matrix from linear operator

For many linear operators, it is easy to express them as a function. For example, to blur an image, simply compute a weighted sum of neighboring pixels (or even easier, import ...

Invert a huge sparse operator;

please help me with this question, I want to invert a huge sparse (non-circulant) this below in a $Ax=y$ equation: $$(\lambda I+ \beta D+ \sigma C)x=y$$ where I is an Identity Matrix,D is a Diagonal ...

When should I write a matrix-vector function to handle the sparse matrix vector multiplication?

This semster, I have been studying the iterative methods for large sparse matrix system. But I have some questions. For large sparse matrix, we must use an economic storage to store them. The most ...

Sparsity-Promoting Convex Optimization Over Simplex

Say we want to find a sparse approximate minimizer to the function $f(x) : \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}$. Then in line with the work in the field of compressed sensing, we can instead minimize $$f(x) + ...

preconditioner for a matrix-free method to solve Ax=b

I need to solve Ax=b, but I realize that even if it is sparse, storing the matrix coefficients of my problem will take too much memory. So now I'm considering using a matrix-free method, because the ...
