Polynomial-reproducing spline spaces from fine zonotopal tilings

Hélène Barucq, Henri Calandra, Julien Diaz +1

Given a point configuration A, we uncover a connection between polynomial-reproducing spline spaces over subsets of conv(A) and fine zonotopal tilings of the zonotope Z(V) associat…

Velocity estimation via registration-guided least-squares inversion

Hyoungsu Baek, Henri Calandra, Laurent Demanet

This paper introduces an iterative scheme for acoustic model inversion where the notion of proximity of two traces is not the usual least-squares distance, but instead involves reg…

On high-order multilevel optimization strategies

Henri Calandra, Serge Gratton, Elisa Riccietti +1

We propose a new family of multilevel methods for unconstrained minimization. The resulting strategies are multilevel extensions of high-order optimization methods based on q-order…
