Structure-Informed Bounds on the Kronecker Rank of Block-Structured Matrices

Allison Fuller, Malena Español, Misha Kilmer

We derive theoretical bounds on the Kronecker rank of block-structured matrices that possess both inner and outer structure. Building on the matrix-to-tensor and tensor-to-matrix f…

Qualitative reconstruction methods for imaging interior Robin interfaces in EIT from Robin-to-Dirichlet data

Rafael Ceja Ayala, Malena I. Español, Govanni Granados

We consider an inverse shape problem arising in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) for nondestructive testing, in which interior defects are modeled through Robin transmission c…

Efficient Decomposition-Based Algorithms for -Regularized Inverse Problems with Column-Orthogonal and Kronecker Product Matrices

Brian Sweeney, Malena I. Español, Rosemary Renaut

We consider an -regularized inverse problem where both the forward and regularization operators have a Kronecker product structure. By leveraging this structure, a joint de…
