/*! Solver for the point source localisation problem using a forward-backward splitting method. This corresponds to the manuscript * Valkonen T. - _Proximal methods for point source localisation_, [arXiv:2212.02991](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.02991). The main routine is [`pointsource_fb_reg`]. ## Problem <p> Our objective is to solve $$ \min_{μ ∈ ℳ(Ω)}~ F_0(Aμ-b) + α \|μ\|_{ℳ(Ω)} + δ_{≥ 0}(μ), $$ where $F_0(y)=\frac{1}{2}\|y\|_2^2$ and the forward operator $A \in 𝕃(ℳ(Ω); ℝ^n)$. </p> ## Approach <p> As documented in more detail in the paper, on each step we approximately solve $$ \min_{μ ∈ ℳ(Ω)}~ F(x) + α \|μ\|_{ℳ(Ω)} + δ_{≥ 0}(x) + \frac{1}{2}\|μ-μ^k|_𝒟^2, $$ where $𝒟: 𝕃(ℳ(Ω); C_c(Ω))$ is typically a convolution operator. </p> ## Finite-dimensional subproblems. With $C$ a projection from [`DiscreteMeasure`] to the weights, and $x^k$ such that $x^k=Cμ^k$, we form the discretised linearised inner problem <p> $$ \min_{x ∈ ℝ^n}~ τ\bigl(F(Cx^k) + [C^*∇F(Cx^k)]^⊤(x-x^k) + α {\vec 1}^⊤ x\bigr) + δ_{≥ 0}(x) + \frac{1}{2}\|x-x^k\|_{C^*𝒟C}^2, $$ equivalently $$ \begin{aligned} \min_x~ & τF(Cx^k) - τ[C^*∇F(Cx^k)]^⊤x^k + \frac{1}{2} (x^k)^⊤ C^*𝒟C x^k \\ & - [C^*𝒟C x^k - τC^*∇F(Cx^k)]^⊤ x \\ & + \frac{1}{2} x^⊤ C^*𝒟C x + τα {\vec 1}^⊤ x + δ_{≥ 0}(x), \end{aligned} $$ In other words, we obtain the quadratic non-negativity constrained problem $$ \min_{x ∈ ℝ^n}~ \frac{1}{2} x^⊤ Ã x - b̃^⊤ x + c + τα {\vec 1}^⊤ x + δ_{≥ 0}(x). $$ where $$ \begin{aligned} Ã & = C^*𝒟C, \\ g̃ & = C^*𝒟C x^k - τ C^*∇F(Cx^k) = C^* 𝒟 μ^k - τ C^*A^*(Aμ^k - b) \\ c & = τ F(Cx^k) - τ[C^*∇F(Cx^k)]^⊤x^k + \frac{1}{2} (x^k)^⊤ C^*𝒟C x^k \\ & = \frac{τ}{2} \|Aμ^k-b\|^2 - τ[Aμ^k-b]^⊤Aμ^k + \frac{1}{2} \|μ_k\|_{𝒟}^2 \\ & = -\frac{τ}{2} \|Aμ^k-b\|^2 + τ[Aμ^k-b]^⊤ b + \frac{1}{2} \|μ_k\|_{𝒟}^2. \end{aligned} $$ </p> We solve this with either SSN or FB as determined by [`crate::subproblem::InnerSettings`] in [`InsertionConfig::inner`]. */ use crate::measures::merging::SpikeMerging; use crate::measures::{DiscreteMeasure, RNDM}; use crate::plot::Plotter; pub use crate::prox_penalty::{InsertionConfig, ProxPenalty, StepLengthBound}; use crate::regularisation::RegTerm; use crate::types::*; use alg_tools::error::DynResult; use alg_tools::instance::Instance; use alg_tools::iterate::AlgIteratorFactory; use alg_tools::mapping::DifferentiableMapping; use alg_tools::nalgebra_support::ToNalgebraRealField; use colored::Colorize; use numeric_literals::replace_float_literals; use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; /// Settings for [`pointsource_fb_reg`]. #[derive(Clone, Copy, Eq, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)] #[serde(default)] pub struct FBConfig<F: Float> { /// Step length scaling pub τ0: F, // Auxiliary variable step length scaling for [`crate::forward_pdps::pointsource_fb_pair`] pub σp0: F, /// Generic parameters pub insertion: InsertionConfig<F>, } #[replace_float_literals(F::cast_from(literal))] impl<F: Float> Default for FBConfig<F> { fn default() -> Self { FBConfig { τ0: 0.99, σp0: 0.99, insertion: Default::default() } } } pub(crate) fn prune_with_stats<F: Float, const N: usize>(μ: &mut RNDM<N, F>) -> usize { let n_before_prune = μ.len(); μ.prune(); debug_assert!(μ.len() <= n_before_prune); n_before_prune - μ.len() } #[replace_float_literals(F::cast_from(literal))] pub(crate) fn postprocess<F: Float, Dat: Fn(&RNDM<N, F>) -> F, const N: usize>( mut μ: RNDM<N, F>, config: &InsertionConfig<F>, f: Dat, ) -> DynResult<RNDM<N, F>> where RNDM<N, F>: SpikeMerging<F>, for<'a> &'a RNDM<N, F>: Instance<RNDM<N, F>>, { //μ.merge_spikes_fitness(config.final_merging_method(), |μ̃| f.apply(μ̃), |&v| v); μ.merge_spikes_fitness(config.final_merging_method(), f, |&v| v); μ.prune(); Ok(μ) } /// Iteratively solve the pointsource localisation problem using forward-backward splitting. /// /// The settings in `config` have their [respective documentation](FBConfig). `opA` is the /// forward operator $A$, $b$ the observable, and $\lambda$ the regularisation weight. /// The operator `op𝒟` is used for forming the proximal term.
