Model agnostic signal encoding by leaky integrate and fire, performance and uncertainty

Integrate-and-fire is a resource efficient time-encoding mechanism that summarizes into a signed spike train those time intervals where a signal's charge exceeds a certain threshold. We analyze the IF encoder in terms of a very general notion of approximate bandwidth, which is shared by most commonly-used signal models. This complements results on exact encoding that may be overly adapted to a particular signal model. We take into account, possibly for the first time, the effect of uncertainty in the exact location of the spikes (as may arise by decimation), uncertainty of integration leakage (as may arise in realistic manufacturing), and boundary effects inherent to finite periods of exposure to the measurement device. The analysis is done by means of a concrete bandwidth-based Ansatz that can also be useful to initialize more sophisticated model specific reconstruction algorithms, and uses the earth mover's (Wasserstein) distance to measure spike discrepancy.

Variations on two Cabrelli's works

In this paper we present two different problems within the framework of shift-invariant theory. First, we develop a triangular form for shift-preserving operators acting on finitely generated shift-invariant spaces. In case of the normal operators, we recover a diagonal decomposition. The results show, in particular, that any finitely generated shift-invariant space can be decomposed into an orthogonal sum of principal shift-invariant spaces, with additional invariance properties under a shift-preserving operator. Second, we provide a new characterization of the multi-tiling sets $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ of positive measure for which $L^2(Ω)$ admits a structured Riesz basis of exponentials that is formulated in the ambient space $\mathbb{T}^{k\times k}$. In addition, we show a simpler sufficient condition which generalizes the admissibility property, that is also necessary for 2-tiling sets.

Random periodic sampling patterns for shift-invariant spaces

We consider multi-variate signals spanned by the integer shifts of a set of generating functions with distinct frequency profiles and the problem of reconstructing them from samples taken on a random periodic set. We show that such a sampling strategy succeeds with high probability provided that the density of the sampling pattern exceeds the number of frequency profiles by a logarithmic factor. The signal model includes bandlimited functions with multi-band spectra. While in this well-studied setting delicate constructions provide sampling strategies that meet the information theoretic benchmark of Shannon and Landau, the sampling pattern that we consider provides, at the price of a logarithmic oversampling factor, a simple alternative that is accompanied by favorable a priori stability margins (snug frames). More generally, we also treat bandlimited functions with arbitrary compact spectra, and different measures of its complexity and approximation rates by integer tiles. At the technical level, we elaborate on recent work on relevant sampling, with the key difference that the reconstruction guarantees that we provide hold uniformly for all signals, rather than for a subset of well-concentrated ones. This is achieved by methods of concentration of measure formulated on the Zak domain.

Reducing and Invariant subspaces under two commuting shift operators

In this article, we characterize reducing and invariant subspaces of the space of square integrable functions defined in the unit circle and having values in some Hardy space with multiplicity. We consider subspaces that reduce the bilateral shift and at the same time are invariant under the unilateral shift acting locally. We also study subspaces that reduce both operators. The conditions obtained are of the type of the ones in Helson and Beurling-Lax-Halmos theorems on characterizations of the invariance for the bilateral and unilateral shift. The motivations for our study were inspired by recent results on Dynamical Sampling in shift-invariant spaces.

Diagonalization of Shift-Preserving Operators

In this note we study the structure of shift-preserving operators acting on a finitely generated shift-invariant space. We define a new notion of diagonalization for these operators, which we call s-diagonalization. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a bounded shift-preserving operator in order to be s-diagonalizable. These conditions are in terms of its range operator. We also obtain a generalized Spectral Theorem for normal bounded shift-preserving operators.

The structure of group preserving operators

In this paper, we prove the existence of a particular diagonalization for normal bounded operators defined on subspaces of $L^2(\mathfrak{S})$ where $\mathfrak{S}$ is a second countable LCA group. The subspaces where the operators act are invariant under the action of a group $Γ$ which is a semi-direct product of a uniform lattice of $\mathfrak{S}$ with a discrete group of automorphisms. This class includes the crystal groups which are important in applications as models for images. The operators are assumed to be $Γ$ preserving. i.e. they commute with the action of $Γ$. In particular we obtain a spectral decomposition for these operators. This generalizes recent results on shift-preserving operators acting on lattice invariant subspaces where $\mathfrak{S}$ is the Euclidean space.

Riesz Bases of Exponentials on Unbounded Multi-tiles

We prove the existence of Riesz bases of exponentials of L^2(Omega), provided that Omega in R^d is a measurable set of finite and positive measure, not necessarily bounded, that satisfies a multi-tiling condition and an arithmetic property that we call admissibility. This property is satisfied for any bounded domain, so our results extend the known case of bounded multi-tiles. We also extend known results for submulti-tiles and frames of exponentials to the unbounded case.
