Output parameters

gt Tight window

Description

gabfirtight(Lsupport,g,a,M) computes an FIR window gd which is tight. The FIR dual window will be supported on Lsupport samples.

This function solve a convex optimization problem that can be written as:

\begin{equation*} \begin{split} \text{gd} = & \text{arg} \min_x \| \alpha x \|_1 + \| \beta \mathcal{F}x\|_1 \\\\ & + \| \omega (x - g_l) \|_2^2 \\\\ & \delta \| x \|_{S0}+ \mu \| \nabla x \|_2^2 +\gamma \| \nabla \mathcal{F} x \|_2^2 \\\\ & \text{such that } x \text{ is a tight FIR window} \end{split} \end{equation*}

Note: This function require the unlocbox. You can download it at http://unlocbox.sourceforge.net

The function uses an iterative algorithm to compute the approximate FIR tight windows. Warning The algorithm solve a non convex problem and might be stack in bad local minima. The algorithm can be controlled by the following flags:

'alpha',alpha Weight in time. If it is a scalar, it represent the weights of the entire L1 function in time. If it is a vector, it is the associated weight assotiated to each component of the L1 norm (length: Ldual). Default value is \(\alpha=0\). Warning: this value should not be too big in order to avoid the the L1 norm proximal operator kill the signal. No L1-time constraint: \(\alpha=0\)
'beta',beta Weight in frequency. If it is a scalar, it represent the weights of the entire L1 function in frequency. If it is a vector, it is the associated weight assotiated to each component of the L1 norm in frequency. (length: Ldual). Default value is \(\beta=0\). Warning: this value should not be too big in order to avoid the the L1 norm proximal operator kill the signal. No L1-frequency constraint: \(\beta=0\)
'omega',omega Weight in time of the L2-norm. If it is a scalar, it represent the weights of the entire L2 function in time. If it is a vector, it is the associated weight assotiated to each component of the L2 norm (length: Ldual). Default value is \(\omega=0\). No L2-time constraint: \(\omega=0\)
'glike',g_l \(g_l\) is a windows in time. The algorithm try to shape the dual window like \(g_l\). Normalization of \(g_l\) is done automatically. To use option omega should be different from 0. By default \(g_d=0\).
'mu',mu Weight of the smooth constraint Default value is 1. No smooth constraint: \(\mu=0\)
'gamma',gamma Weight of the smooth constraint in frequency. Default value is 1. No smooth constraint: \(\gamma=0\)
'delta',delta Weight of the S0-norm. Default value is 0. No S0-norm: \(\delta=0\)
'dual' Look for a dual windows (default)
'painless' Construct a starting guess using a painless-case approximation. This is the default
'zero' Choose a starting guess of zero.
'rand' Choose a random starting phase.
'tol',t Stop if relative residual error is less than the specified tolerance.
'maxit',n Do at most n iterations. default 200
'print' Display the progress.
'debug' Display all the progresses.
'quiet' Don't print anything, this is the default.
'fast' Fast algorithm, this is the default.
'slow' Safer algorithm, you can try this if the fast algorithm is not working. Before using this, try to iterate more.
'printstep',p If 'print' is specified, then print every p'th iteration. Default value is p=10;
'hardconstraint' Force the projection at the end (default)
'softconstaint' Do not force the projection at the end
