abstract = {We consider polynomial systems of Prony type, appearing in many areas of mathematics. Their robust numerical solution is considered to be difficult, especially in "near-colliding" situations. We transform the nonlinear part of the Prony system into a Hankel-type polynomial system. Combining this representation with a recently discovered "decimation" technique, we present an algorithm which applies homotopy continuation to an appropriately chosen Hankel-type system as above. In this way, we are able to solve for the nonlinear variables of the original system with high accuracy when the data is perturbed.},

abstract = {We consider the problem of recovering a linear combination of Dirac delta functions and derivatives from a finite number of Fourier samples corrupted by noise. This is a generalized version of the well-known spike recovery problem, which is receiving much attention recently. We analyze the numerical conditioning of this problem in two different settings depending on the order of magnitude of the quantity N$\eta$, where N is the number of Fourier samples and $\eta$ is the minimal distance between the generalized spikes. In the {\textquotedblleft}well-conditioned{\textquotedblright} regime N $\eta$ >> 1 , we provide upper bounds for first-order perturbation of the solution to the corresponding least-squares problem. In the near-colliding, or {\textquotedblleft}super-resolution{\textquotedblright} regime N $\eta$ {\textrightarrow} 0 with a single cluster, we propose a natural regularization scheme based on decimating the samples {\textendash} essentially increasing the separation $\eta$ {\textendash} and demonstrate the effectiveness and near-optimality of this scheme in practice.},

the location of each discontinuity. Instead of consecutive Fourier
samples, we propose to use a decimated'' set which is evenly spread

For a given $\epsilon>0$ let $N(\epsilon,Q)$ be the minimal number of linear measurements, sufficient to reconstruct any $x \in Q$ with the accuracy $\epsilon$. We call $N(\epsilon,Q)$ the sampling $\epsilon$-entropy of $Q$. Using dimensionality reduction, as provided by the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma, we show that, in an appropriate probabilistic setting, $N(\epsilon,Q)$ is bounded from above by Kolmogorov's $\epsilon$-entropy $H(\epsilon,Q)$, defined as $H(\epsilon,Q) = \log M(\epsilon,Q)$, with $M(\epsilon,Q)$ being the minimal number of $\epsilon$-balls covering $Q$. As the main application, we show that piecewise smooth (piecewise analytic) functions in one and several variables can be sampled with essentially the same accuracy rate as their regular counterparts. For univariate piecewise $C^k$-smooth functions this result, which settles the so-called Eckhoff conjecture, was recently established in [4] via a deterministic algebraic reconstruction'' algorithm.},

such as a collision of two closely spaced nodes.
We also discuss the problem of reconstructing piecewise-smooth functions
from their Fourier coefficients, which is easily reduced by a well-known
method of K.Eckhoff to solving a particular Prony system. As we show
in the paper, it turns out that a modification of this highly nonlinear
method can reconstruct the jump locations and magnitudes of such functions,
as well as the pointwise values between the jumps, with the maximal
possible accuracy. },

$S_j$ to be a subset of the common set of zeroes of the Fourier transforms ${\cal F}(f_\ell), \ \ell \ne j$, on which
${\cal F}(f_j)\ne 0$. It was shown in [5] that in this way the reconstruction system is decoupled'' into $k$
separate systems, each including only one of the signals $f_j$. Each of the resulting systems is of a generalized Prony'' form.
However, the sampling sets as above usually are non-uniform. Moreover, they may be too small'' to allow for a unique
reconstruction of the shifts and amplitudes. In the present paper we study uniqueness and robustness of non-uniform sampling of
exponential polynomials, applying as the main tool a well-known result in Harmonic Analysis: the Tur\'an-Nazarov inequality
([16]), and its generalization to discrete sets, obtained in [11]. The results obtained are applied to our
specific reconstruction problem of linear combinations of shifts of several signals, producing explicit accuracy estimates.
We illustrate our general results in some specific examples, and provide some simulation results, which basically confirm
our theoretical predictions.},

equations
$\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}A_{i}x_{i}^{k}=m_{k},\ k=0,1,\dots,2n-1.$
This system appears in numerous theoretical and applied problems arising
in Signal Reconstruction. The simplest example is the problem of reconstruction
of linear combination of $\delta$-functions of the form $g(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_{i}\delta(x-x_{i})$,
with the unknown parameters $a_{i},\ x_{i},\ i=1,\dots,n,$ from the
moment measurements'' $m_{k}=\int x^{k}g(x)dx.$
Global solution of the Prony system, i.e. inversion of the Prony mapping,
encounters several types of singularities. One of the most important
ones is a collision of some of the points $x_{i}.$ The investigation
of this type of singularities has been started in [21]
where the role of finite differences was demonstrated.
In the present paper we study this and other types of singularities
of the Prony mapping, and describe its global geometry. We show, in
particular, close connections of the Prony mapping with the Vieta
mapping'' expressing the coefficients of a polynomial through its
roots, and with hyperbolic polynomials and Vandermonde mapping''
studied by V. Arnold.},

The second approach is based on a possibility to generate $a_k$ via recurrence relations. Specifically, we consider linear
non-stationary recurrences of the form
$a_{k}=\sum_{j=1}^{d}c_{j}(k)\cdot a_{k-j},\ \ k=d,d+1,\dots,$

In the third approach we assume that $a_k=a_k(\lambda)$ are polynomials in a
finite-dimensional parameter $\lambda \in C^n.$ We study Bautin ideals'' $I_k$ generated by
$a_{1}(\lambda),\ldots,a_{k}(\lambda)$ in the ring $C[\lambda]$ of polynomials in $\lambda$.

This problem, which essentially asks how many zero first moments can such a (nonzero) function have, turns out to be related to several difficult questions in analytic theory of ODEs (Poincare's Center-Focus problem) as well as in Approximation Theory and Signal Processing ("Algebraic Sampling"). While the solution space of any particular ODE admits such a bound, it will in the most general situation depend on the coefficients of this ODE. We believe that a good understanding of this dependence may provide a clue for attacking the problems mentioned above.
In this paper we undertake an approach to the moment vanishing problem which utilizes the fact that the moment sequences under consideration satisfy a recurrence relation of fixed length, whose coefficients are polynomials in the index. For any given operator, we prove a general bound for its moment vanishing index. We also provide uniform bounds for several operator families.},

Specifically, we consider domains with boundary which can be represented by a union of a finite number of pieces whose graphs are solutions of a linear differential equation with polynomial coefficients. This includes do- mains with piecewise-algebraic and, in particular, piecewise-polynomial bound- aries. Our approach is based on the one-dimensional reconstruction method of [5] and a kind of separation of variables'' which reduces the planar problem to two one-dimensional problems, one of them parametric. Several explicit examples of reconstruction are given.
Another main topic of the paper concerns invisible sets'' for various types of incomplete moment measurements. We suggest a certain point of view which stresses remarkable similarity between several apparently unrelated problems. In particular, we discuss zero quadrature domains (invisible for harmonic poly- nomials), invisibility for powers of a given polynomial, and invisibility for com- plex moments (Wermer's theorem and further developments). The common property we would like to stress is a rigidity'' and symmetry of the invisible ob jects.},

abstract = {Accurate reconstruction of piecewise-smooth functions from a finite
number of Fourier coefficients is an important problem in various
applications. This probelm exhibits an inherent inaccuracy, in particular
the Gibbs phenomenon, and it is being intensively investigated during
the last decades. Several nonlinear reconstruction methods have been
proposed in the literature, and it is by now well-established that
the classical'' convergence order can be completely restored up
to the discontinuities. Still, the maximal accuracy of determining
the positions of these discontinuities remains an open question.
In this paper we prove that the locations of the jumps (and subsequently
the pointwise values of the function) can be reconstructed with at
least half the classical accuracy''. In particular, we develop
a constructive approximation procedure which, given the first $k$
Fourier coefficients of a piecewise-$C^{2d+1}$ function, recovers
the locations of the jumps with accuracy $\sim k^{-\left(d+2\right)}$,
and the values of the function between the jumps with accuracy $\sim k^{-\left(d+1\right)}$
(similar estimates are obtained for the associated jump magnitudes).
A key ingredient of the algorithm is to start with the case of a single
discontinuity, where a modified version of one of the existing algebraic
methods (due to K.Eckhoff) may be applied. It turns out that the additional
orders of smoothness produce highly correlated error terms in the
Fourier coefficients, which eventually cancel out in the corresponding
algebraic equations. To handle more than one jump, we apply a localization
procedure via a convolution in the Fourier domain, which eventually
preserves the accuracy estimates obtained for the single jump. We
provide some numerical results which support the theoretical predictions.},

In opposite to the existing tools, our technology provides both automatic and intuitive interactive photo-animation of high-resolution images. Our method and technology comprise the following main components: 1. Vectorization of the image, i.e. its representation by the sets of primitive structures (geometric models) in different scales. 2. 3D-2D global scale kinematic models for various image objects, especially, for the patterns of human bodies. These models allow an adaptation to definite parameters of the patterns and provide a high visual quality of motions' reproduction, including relatively large 3D rotations. 3. Tools and methods for translation of true 3D motion (like various scenarios of human 3D motion appearing in the Carnegie Mellon University database) into 2.5D animation. 4. Tools and methods for real-time automatic fitting of the models to image objects. In the course of fitting, specific anatomic parameters of the pattern are detected and preserved. The suggested method starts with face detection and model fitting, and then extends up to a full body pose capturing and model fitting. Our approach strongly relies on information provided by a vectorized image data, like the geometry of the edges and ridges and their color profiles, and on the transformations of 3D and 2D models. 5. High level scenarios and their automatic adaptation to the actual position of the characters in the photo. The presented technology is illustrated by several examples.

abstract = {We consider the problem of exact reconstruction of univariate functions with jump discontinuities at unknown positions from their moments. These functions are assumed to satisfy an \emph{a priori unknown} linear homogeneous differential equation with polynomial coefficients on each continuity interval. Therefore, they may be specified by a finite amount of information. This reconstruction problem has practical importance in Signal Processing and other applications.
It is somewhat of a folklore'' that the sequence of the moments of such piecewise $D$-finite''functions satisfies a linear recurrence relation of bounded order and degree. We derive this recurrence relation explicitly. It turns out that the coefficients of the differential operator which annihilates every piece of the function, as well as the locations of the discontinuities, appear in this recurrence in a precisely controlled manner. This leads to the formulation of a generic algorithm for reconstructing a piecewise $D$-finite function from its moments.
We investigate the conditions for solvability of the resulting linear systems in the general case, as well as analyze a few particular examples. We provide results of numerical simulations for several types of signals, which test the sensitivity of the proposed algorithm to noise.},
